​​​​​​​PE and Sport Funding

The PE and Sport Allocation is funding provided to schools in addition to main school funding. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

The gover​nment  provided additional funding for academic years 2013 to 2016 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.  This money has continued to be provided in 2017-18 when the funding was £13,271. 

It is for schools to decide how the PE and Sport funding is spent. Schools are held accountable for how they have used the additional funding.

In our school we have used the money in a variety of areas:
