Primary Sports Premium Grant Funding for 2017 to 2018:


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.


Schools receive Primary Sport Premium Grant funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. In cases where schools do not follow year groups (for example, in some special schools), pupils aged 5 to 10 attract the funding. In most cases, the number of pupils attracting the funding is determined using data from the January 2017 school census. If you are a new school, or a school teaching eligible pupils for the first time in the academic year 2017 to 2018, your funding will be based on data from the autumn 2017 school census.

• Highlight the importance of using the Premium funding effectively


First reviews to be conducted in the summer term, 2018.


2. New Swimming Condition


A further condition of the funding will require schools to publish how many pupils within their school are meeting National Curriculum swimming attainment targets.


This is to monitor and tighten compliance with funding requirements. Government research through local intelligence revealed that 50% of Year 6 pupils are still leaving primary education as non-swimmers. Clear guidance will be forthcoming in the Autumn announcement.
