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.

At St Vincent’s, we are committed to using our funding strategically to create lasting impact and ensure the long-term quality of PE and sport throughout our school. We believe that when children are actively involved in physical education and sporting opportunities, they grow into happier, healthier learners who are more engaged in all areas of school life. We aim to inspire a lifelong love of physical activity by giving pupils the confidence and skills they need to thrive in sport. At St Vincent’s, this begins with high-quality PE lessons and is further enhanced by a variety of structured extra-curricular activities available beyond the school day.
