Sports Premium Funding

Building a Sporting Legacy at Drapers Mills Primary Academy

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.

This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school headteachers with a view to making additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and school sport.

This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

Funding allocations are based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6 as recorded in the January 2019 census. Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.

26 children left KS2 in 2019 being able to swim a 25m length of a pool.
