Introduction

The government provides schools with funding to improve the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to give them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle. Schools receive £10,000 per year plus £10 per pupil for all eligible pupils in year groups one to six.

Schools will be held to account for how they spend the sport funding. Ofsted has strengthened its coverage of sport and PE within the Inspectors’ Handbook and supporting guidance, so that schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision offered.

Into its eleventh year, the Primary PE and Sport Premium supports schools to ensure equal access, support all pupils to be active for 60 minutes a day and ensure the delivery of two hours of quality PE for all pupils.
