What is the PE and sport premium?
The PE and sport premium is a grant awarded to schools across the UK each year to improve the sport and PE lessons and extracurricular activities offered. The difference is this year that this grant has been doubled, giving schools more funding than ever before, to help improve sports for primary school children across the country.
The concept behind the grant is to improve fitness, build confidence and increase general well-being of primary school-aged pupils. In September 2017 the PE and Sport Premium was doubled, to help further improve physical education and outdoor play in England.
Why double it?
The aim of doubling the funding is to help prevent childhood obesity and encourage children from five to ten years old to lead more active lives, starting at school. By awarding eligible schools more funds, this makes improving the physical education and sport on offer much easier, enhancing pupil learning experiences. The additional funding is set to come from the levy on sugary soft drinks or “Sugar Tax” as it has become commonly known.
How The Funding is Worked Out?
• Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £1,000 per pupil.
• Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.
For the Academic Year 2022-2023 Hadleigh Infants and Nursery School will receive £17,760.
