Sports Funding

Money is provided by the Primary School Sport Funding Programme to improve PE and sport provision. The money has to be used to:

• Improve the quality and breadth of PE provision. (Schools are free to determine how to use this.)
• Increase participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance they are capable of.
