Sports and P.E Funding Grant Expenditure
The government provides additional funding to schools to improve the quality of sport and PE for all children. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated to primary school Head teachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Purpose of funding:
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Vision:
All pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
