The Government provide 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.
