Primary P.E. Sports Funding

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per year in order to improve the provision of Physical Education (PE) and sport in primary schools across the country.

This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Our aim is to increase sporting opportunities for children regardless of their economic background or ability, and also to improve the quality of the provision they receive at no or very little cost to parents. Click below to read how we spend our PE funding.
