The government allocates additional income to each primary school in the form of sports premiums.  The actual amount is based on the number of children who attend the school.

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

This means that you should use the premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE and sports activities that your school already offers
• Make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

• Link to the UK Government website PE and Sport Premium for primary schools
