Sports Funding
The Sports (PE) Grant
The PE grant has been provided to schools nationally to embed the development of PE at the 'grass roots' level following interest generated by the Olympics in 2012 and also to address concerns about obesity in children and to teach children about the benefits of developing a healthy lifestyle from an early age. It is the government's intention that by promoting a love of sport and physical activity in children, they will be encouraged to continue these good habits and lifestyle choices into adulthood.
The funding has been delivered since 2013. Please find below an explanation of our funding and plans for recent academic years.
