The Sports Premium is supplementary funding from central government which must be spent on making additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport in schools. These improvements must benefit all primary age children, so that they can develop healthy lifestyles.
Playing sport helps to keep people healthy and is beneficial for local communities. Playing sport at school or in a local club is also the first step along the path to competition at the highest level, which contributes to economic growth.
Often when people leave school they stop playing sport, which can lead to a less healthy lifestyle. By encouraging children to play sport safely from a young age, gives them the opportunity to develop an interest in sport which may last throughout their lives.
Each year maintained primary schools (like Dunalley) and academies must publish information about their use of the Sports Premium.
