PE & Sports Premium
Investing in healthy, active lives for every child
The Government provides Primary PE and Sport Premium funding to improve the quality of PE and sport for all children. At Pallister Park we use this funding to build on an already outstanding sports provision.
All children and young people should live healthy, active lives. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day for children and young people.
Our funding
How much we receive and how we spend it
The Government’s £320 million per annum PE and Sport Premium is jointly funded by the Departments for Education, Health, and Culture, Media and Sport. All schools with 17 or more primary-aged pupils receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus £10 per pupil.
Pallister Park Primary School received £20,780 in PE and Sport Premium. In addition to this, in the last financial year the school spent approximately £50,000 on PE and sport from its own budget — excluding teacher wages — reflecting how central physical activity is to everything we do here.
The funding can only be spent on PE and sport provision within school. It must make additional and sustainable improvements — it cannot replace core school activities. Please download our full financial breakdown below.
