PE and Sport Funding Report

What is the PE and Sports Premium?

The government has provided funding of 150 million pounds per annum since 2013 to provide new and substantial primary sport funding. The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture and Medias and Sport. The money is being given directly to schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their pupils. The money is ring-fenced and can ONLY be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
