“Playing sport helps to keep people healthy and is good for communities. Playing sport at school or in a local club is also the first step to competition at the highest level, which helps improve our reputation as a sporting nation, and contributes to economic growth.

​

But when people leave school, they often stop playing sports, which means people can’t fulfil their sporting potential, and can lead to a less healthy lifestyle. We want to get more people playing sport safely from a young age, and help them keep playing sport throughout their life, no matter what their economic or social background.”

– From the ‘Department for Culture, Media & Sport and Department for Education’

The Government is providing primary school sport funding 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. Funding will be funded through a lump sum for each school and a top up per pupil.

Impact and Monitoring

The involvement of pupils in sports and exercise activities both inside and outside of the school is monitored in the PE assessment and tracking process. In this way we can identify pupils who are not accessing organised sports. Achievements of children in activities outside of school are regularly celebrated in assemblies where parents are invited.
