Sports Funding

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for PE and sport to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision in primary schools.

Each school will receive £8,000 plus a supplement for each pupil. In order to get the best value and maximum impact for our children, we plan to use the money in a wide variety of ways.
