What is the Sports Premium?
The Government has provided funding of £150 million per annum for the academic years 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 – this was extended to 2016/2017 then doubled for the academic year 2017/2018. This is in place to provide new, substantial sports funding for primary schools . This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
