What the PE and sport premium is for

The Department For Education says that PE and sport premium funding should be used to:

• support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives

• make sure all children can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity and sport, no matter their background or ability
• improve children’s health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment

The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend:

• a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities

PE and sport premium funding must be used in accordance with the Department For Education's conditions of grant. Schools must use the funding to:

• develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides.
