Sports Premium

What is Sports Premium?

Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. It is allocated to schools so that they may develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport activities that the school already offers. It is also allocated to build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
