Primary PE and Sport Funding

Schools are allocated a sum of money, called Primary PE and Sport Funding, to support all children and improve the quantity, quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.

The allocation is calculated according to the intake of the school, and the school must decide how best to use the money to improve the breath and quality of PE and sport provision, including increased participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.

Our Primary PE and Sport Funding for 2015/16 was £8,814
And our funding for 2016/2017 is £8,525
