Sports Premium Funding

The government is providing 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 - will be allocated to primary school Headteachers.

This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. 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. Please refer to our most recent evaluation document (below).

The main focus is developing the curriculum, and training for teachers. It also helps pay for participation in a variety of sporting clubs, tournaments and competitions.

This year we are focusing on our unstructured play provision and are working with Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) to develop the lunchtime play quality.
