Primary PE and Sport Premium is an initiative that aims to help increase and improve the PE and sporting opportunities for children. It was first provided in the 2013/14 academic year, following on from the London 2012 Olympics, and continues to this day.
PE and Sport Premium funding is provided jointly by the Department for Education, the Department for Health and Culture and the Department for Media and Sport. It has been allocated to primary school headteachers and is ‘ring-fenced’, meaning that it can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.
