PE and Sport Premium rates 2024/25

The latest PE and sport premium grant has been confirmed. The grant benefits all primary-aged pupils by encouraging the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

Schools must use the PE and sport premium to:

• Build capacity and capability within the school and ensure that improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity provision made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
• Develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides.

Any use of the PE and sport premium must be in accordance with the terms outlined in how much PE and sport premium funding primary schools receive, and advice on how to spend it.

Allocations for the academic year 2024 to 2025 will remain the same as the previous year and are calculated using the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, as recorded in the January 2024 census, as follows:

• schools with 17 or more pupils receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil
• schools with 16 or fewer pupils receive £1,000 per pupil

Where a school’s pupils are not recorded by year group, pupils aged 5 to 10 are deemed eligible.
