In March 2013, the government announced that it would provide additional funding to primary schools to support the improvement of provision of PE and sport. The funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on PE and sport in primary schools. The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport. It is to benefit primary-aged pupils and to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to:

• support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives
• make participation in PE and school sport easier
• 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
• embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity.
