The Government provides additional funding to schools to help them improve physical education (PE) and sport.
Schools use the funding to enhance PE provision in school, for example, to:
- Hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers during PE lessons
- Support and involve the least active children by running after-school sports clubs and holiday clubs
- Provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers
- Run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games;
- Run sports activities with other schools
