Sports Premium Funding

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical 

education (PE) and sport. This funding should be used to improve the quality and 

breadth of PE and sport provision. 

Funding will be allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase 

pupils, including: primary, middle, special and non-maintained special schools, 

academies and pupil referral units from 1 September 2013. 

Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and 

breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so 

that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are 

capable of. 

At Penny Bridge we already have had a strong sporting history and this will 

continue using specialist coaches, specific inter school competitions, staff 

training and improved resources
