The Government has provided funding of £150 million per annum across all primary schools and academies to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to Primary Schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose they do this.
We have always considered sports to be of great importance to our children and have led the way with a dedicated Sports Leader who has championed sports for all of our pupils. In 2017, we were the Rochdale Borough recipients of the award for ‘School Commitment to PE & Sport’ – a wonderful achievement and testament to the dedication and hard work of our Sports Team.
Given the increase in funding and our own commitment to sports and health and well-being, a lot of our work is rooted in the sustainability of improvements set in place since the beginning of the school sports funding in 2013. Staff CPD, impact of initiatives and a focus on being able to offer children of all ages and abilities the opportunity to be active and acquire new skills and experiences has been the overriding drive in our spend of the school sports funding.
