School Sports Funding

How to use the PE and Sport Premium

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

This means that you should use the premium to:

  • Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
  • Ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

For example, you can use your funding to:

  • Hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
  • Provide existing staff with training, mentoring and resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively.
  • Introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport and physical activities
  • Support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs and holiday clubs
  • Enter or run more sport competitions
  • Increase pupils’ participation in the School Games creating a pathway for the London Youth Games.
  • Run sports activities with other schools or companies.
