In March 2013, the Government announced that it would provide additional funding to primary schools to support the improvement of provision of PE and sport. The funding, allocated to headteachers in primary schools, is ring-fenced and can only be spent on PE and sport in primary schools. The headteacher and governors are accountable for the spending of the funding.

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable  improvements to the provision of PE and sport. It is to benefit primary-aged pupils and to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

This means that schools should use the premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE, physical and sports activities that the school already offers.
• Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years. 

The current PE and Sports Premium allocation will end in the 2026/2027 academic year, with all schools receiving a portion of their regular allocation. Updated guidance on this will be issued in September.

Please read the information below, which gives details of our most current PE and Sports Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
