Primary Sport Premium update


Most schools with primary-age pupils will receive the PE and sport premium in the academic year 2016 to 2017. Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. In cases where schools don’t follow year groups (for example, in some special schools), pupils aged 5 to 10 attract the funding. In most cases, DfE determine how many pupils in your school attract the funding using data from the January 2016 school census. If you are a new school or a school teaching eligible pupils for the first time in the academic year 2016 to 2017, DfE will base your funding on data from the autumn 2016 school census.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY – A Plan for Action (August 2016)


Improving the co-ordination of quality sport and physical activity programmes for schools


County Sports Partnerships have been asked by Public Health England to work with National Governing Bodies of Sport, the Youth Sport Trust and other national and local providers to ensure that from September 2017, every primary school in England has access to a co-ordinated offer of high quality sport and physical activity programmes, both local and national. As part of this, National Governing Bodies will offer high quality sport programmes to every primary school. Whilst children spend a significant amount of time in school, keeping children active is a shared responsibility and parents and carers need to play their part. The Sport England Strategy ‘Towards an Active Nation’ (2016) has already set out a major new investment of £40m into projects which offer new opportunities for families and children to get active and play sport together. This investment will focus on helping children acquire a basic level of competence in sport and physical activity as well as supporting them to have fun, regardless of their level of ability.


PHE will continue investing in walking and cycling to school. Walking or cycling to school provides a healthy way to
