The government in England has provided additional funding of over £150 million per annum since 2013/14 to improve PE and school sport in primary schools. From September 2017, the funding was doubled to enable primary schools to make further improvements to the quality and breadth of the PE and sport they offer.
The funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on PE and school sport provision in schools. Ofsted will assess how primary schools spend their PE and Sport Premium; schools are required to publish information about their use of the premium on their website.
Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6. Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £1000 per pupil and schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16000 and an additional payment of £10 per child.
