The UK government have announced that schoolโs PE and Sports Premium Funding would be continuing at the increased rate of ยฃ230 million during the next academic year.
These announcements come as fantastic news for UK schools, helping them to build on their resources to encourage physical activity throughout their pupilโs education. There have also been changes to the way in which the funding is allocated and the instalments that are made, with some schools receiving payments in November 2024.
PE and Sports Premium spending is monitored by Ofsted and so, it is important that schools consider how this budget is being spent to meet the requirements for all childrenโs physical activity levels. However, as playground markings can be used by pupils of all ages and are a key part of break and playtimes during the school day, they are an ideal way to spend PE and Sports Premium funding.
The government website explains that Sports Premium funding can be used for the following activities:
At Uni-Play we have worked with many schools on their playground redesign projects, many of which have been funded by Sports Premium. From sports courts through to traditional playground games and mile-a-day tracks โ we can create a bespoke playground design to meet your pupilsโ requirements. We can also work closely with your teaching staff and pupils to ensure everyone has a say in the markings we include! As we design everything in-house, we can ensure your playground feels like an exciting opportunity for physical play!
PE and Sports Premium funding is often ยฃ16,000 per year, now being split into different payments depending on school type and size, in September, November and April. We recommend finding more detailed information via the government website on how your payments will be made.
