What is the PE & Sport Premium?

The government’s PE & Sport Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA) available to all pupils. More information can be found here

All children and young people should live healthy active lives.  The additional funding should be used to ensure that all children:  

• take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day as recommended by the UK Chief Medical Officers
• participate in at least 30 minutes of daily activity in schools in line with the Government's Childhood Obesity Plan
• have equal access to high-quality PE provision
• have opportunities to participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities 

Schools have a key role to play in achieving this aim. This is particularly true of primary schools where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded.
