Sport Premium Funding
What is the Sports Premium?
The government has made available funding to provide primary school sport funding. This commitment to sports funding has been confirmed until 2020 for all primary schools. The funding goes directly into school budgets to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE. Each school receives £8,000 plus an extra £5 per pupil per year.
At Hardy Mill Primary School that means we have been allocated £9156to spend on improving thePE and Games provision each year.
Purpose of the funding
The money is being given to schools to help them to improve the provision of PE sessions. Schools are then given the choice on what to spend it on.
Possible uses of the funding include:
  • Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongsideprimary teachers when teaching PE
  • New or additional Change4Life sport clubs
  • Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
  • Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development inPE/sport
