Most schools with primary-age pupils currently receive the PE and sport premium. This funding has been allocated directly to primary schools.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

Schools can choose how they use the funding, for example to:

  • develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
  • make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

For example, schools can use funding to:

  • hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
  • provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
  • introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
  • support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs
  • run sport competitions
  • increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
  • run sports activities with other schools

Schools are held accountable by requiring them to publish on their websites, details of how they spend (or will spend) their PE and sport grant. They must also include detail about the impact this funding has on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment.
