What is the PE and Sports Premium?

The PE and Sport Premium is a government funding stream designed to help primary schools improve the quality of PE and sports activities they offer.

Schools receive PE and Sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, or in cases where schools don’t follow year groups (for example, in some special schools), the number of pupils aged 5 to 10.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.
