P.E. and Sport Premium Funding

Background

In March 2013, the government announced that it was to provide additional
funding to improve the provision of physical education (P.E.), school sport and
physical activity (P.E.S.S.P.A.) in primary schools in England, known as the
Primary P.E. & Sport Premium. This funding – provided jointly by the
Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated
directly to primary schools.

Allocation and spending of the P.E. and Sport Premium Funding
Each year we produce an action plan for how this money will be allocated to
raise standards and participation levels in physical activity throughout the
school. It is used so that:

• all children benefit regardless of sporting ability
•  staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional
  development
• the most able children are given the opportunity to extend their skills in
  their area of expertise
• we offer experience of non-traditional sports
• children of all abilities are given the opportunity to compete in
  tournaments with other schools
• we ensure that spending has a legacy and is sustainable
