The government provides Primary PE and Sport Premium funding to support schools in making additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity provision. For 2026/27, schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £6,240 plus £10 per pupil in Years 1–6. The funding should be used to build capacity and capability within the school and to develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity opportunities already provided.

Here are some of the ways we plan to spend the extra funding.

• Purchase new equipment to support the teaching of PE in lessons
• Provide training opportunities for staff to develop own skills in the teaching of
• Employ coaches to work alongside teachers in developing the teaching of Dance and Gymnastics
• Enhance our provision of extra curriculum activities
• Access a range of sporting opportunities within the local community outside of the PE lesson
• Provide opportunities for children to participate in competitive sport
• Purchase supporting materials to ensure staff can plan effectively

I look forward to sharing the impact of this on our children’s PE experience.
