In March 2013 the Government announced that it was to provide additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England - The Primary PE & Sport Premium.  The funding is changing from September 2026.

Purpose of the funding

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to:

• support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives
• make participation in PE and school sport easier
• make sure all children can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity and sport, no matter their background or ability
• improve children’s health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment
• embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity.

The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend:

• children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day
• disabled children and young people should take part in 20 minutes of physical activity per day

Provision in School

As a school we already provide high quality Physical Education and sport. The funding this year will enhance the existing provision in school.

Reporting Outcomes

Updates relating to our provision for PE and sport will be provided throughout the school year through the school website.
