We want all pupils to be healthy and active. This is why since 2013 the government has invested over £600 million of ring-fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE through the Primary PE and Sport Premium.

The Department for Education and the Department of Health contribute £100 million and £60 million per year to the premium respectively, with the Soft Drinks Levy funding contributing £415 million over the remainder of the current spending review period (see attached table).

Funding for 2020-21 onwards will be considered at the next Spending Review.
