The Government provides funding to each school to improve the quality of sport and PE for children in primary schools. The funding that we receive annually over this period is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. Schools are free to decide how to spend the grant, but they must be able to show that their spending has led to a “direct and sustained” improvement in sporting provision.
The guidance from the DfE and EFA says that schools should use the funding to:
• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities they already offer.
• Make improvements that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
You can download a copy of our Sports Premium Impact Report, which evaluates the impact of our 2025-26 action plan, from the bottom of this page. This also includes information about how many pupils within their year 6 cohort are meeting the national curriculum requirements for swimming, and our swimming provision.
