Sports Premium Policy
Information
Eligibility:
Most schools with primary-age pupils receive the PE and sport premium, including:
-
schools maintained by the local authority
-
academies and free schools
-
special schools (for children with special educational needs or disabilities)
-
non-maintained special schools (schools for children with special educational needs that the Secretary of State for Education has approved under section 342 of the Education Act 1996)
-
city technology colleges (CTCs)
-
Pupil referral units (PRUs provide education for children who can’t go to a mainstream school).
-
general hospitals
How the funding is calculated:
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, we determine how many pupils in your school attract the funding using data from the school census.
​​
Funding:
Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £1,000 per pupil.
Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.
