PE and Sports Premium

What is the PE and Sports Premium?

In March 2013 the government announced that it was to provide additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England – The Primary PE & Sport Premium.

Why has it been introduced?

The PE and Sport Premium is paid directly to primary schools and is ring-fenced to spend on improving the quality of PE and sport provision for all their pupils. All primary schools in England with 17 or more primary-aged pupils receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.

How do we make sure that the right children are benefiting?

At St. John's Primary and Nursery, we share the Department for Education vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium - “that ALL pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport”.
