PE and sport premium funding for 2022-23

The Department for Education has confirmed the allocations to primary schools for this academic year from the PE and sport premium funding.

The PE and sport premium is part of the Olympic Legacy and is additional money given to primary schools and funded by the Department for Education, the Department for Health and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The funding has been allocated in order to improve physical education (PE) and sport, with a commitment that the funding will continue until 2023. This additional funding is also available to improve outdoor spaces; inspire young people to take up competitive sport; and train specialist primary sports teachers.

Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils will receive £1,000 per pupil. Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils will receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil. Further information can be found within the published allocations for 2022 to 2023 and the conditions of grant for 2022 to 2023. The funding for this academic year will be the same as last year.
