Sports Premium
Primary PE and Sport Premium
The government provides additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated to primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Allocation of Funding
Allocations are calculated using the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, as recorded in the January census, as follows:
-
schools with 17 or more pupils receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil
-
schools with 16 or fewer pupils receive £1000 per pupil
Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. For more information please click on the link below.
Accountability
By 31st July, schools must publish, on their website, information about their use of the premium. Schools must publish:
-
the amount of premium funding received
-
a full breakdown of how it has been spent
-
the impact seen by the school on pupils' participation and attainment in PE and sport
-
how this improvements will be sustained
-
how many pupils within year 6 have met the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres; use a range of strokes effectively - for example front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke; perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
