Primary PE and Sport Premium...

On the 5th July 2020 the Department for Education (DfE) confirmed that the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding will continue at £320 million for the 2020/21 academic year...

 

Pop-Up Sports are delighted with the Government’s announcement with regards to the continuation of the PE and Sport Premium funding. £320 million has again been made available for primary schools for the academic year 2020/21 along with news from the Department for Education who have authorised the rollover of any unused PE and Sport Premium funding from the past academic year (2019/20).

 

Importantly, the DfE has also sanctioned any Primary PE and Sport Premium funding from the current academic year (2019-20), that schools were unable to use, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, can be carried forward to utilise in the next academic year.

​

The ring-fenced funding for PE, School sport and Physical activity (PESSPA) means that children can continue to receive access to high quality opportunities at a time when they need it more than ever.

​

​We passionately believe that the health and wellbeing of our children and young people should be central to school life. Not only will the extension of PE and Sport Premium support the physical wellbeing of our children, but also the social and emotional benefits that Sport and Physical Activity brings is absolutely critical for the next academic year and any recovery curriculum.
