The DfE has announced the increase in funding with hopes that it will improve the quality of PE and sport in primary schools, helping pupils to be active and healthy.
Under the old funding rate of £160 million, each primary school received a flat rate of £8,000 to spend on sport programmes, with £5 added per pupil. With the funding now increased to £320 million, schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils (aged 5- to 10-years-old) receive £1,000 per pupil, and schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000, with £10 added per pupil.
The public health minister, Steve Brine, said the money for increasing the PE and sport premium will come from the ‘sugar tax’.
The money from the PE and sport premium can be used by schools in a variety of ways, including to “introduce new sports, dance or other activities”, or to “partner with other schools to run sports activities and clubs”. The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision ofPE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils, in the 2017 to 2018 academic year, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles. Schools have the freedom to choose how they do this.
VISION
To ensure that all pupils leaving primary school are physically literate and have the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
OBJECTIVES

Some possible indicators of improvement could include: The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles.
