How Will You Spend Your Sports Premium?

Sports premium funding should be used to help schools continue to use physical education, sport and physical activity as a tool to improve educational attainment, emotional and physical health and well-being.

Our PE and Sport premium range ensures pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle and commit to a lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

To help your school navigate the minefield of what to spend your money on, we have created exclusive packages to help you decide.

Freestanding Sports Premium Equipment

Included within the Sports Premium Guidance document, the Department for Education state that the Sport Premium should not be used for anything classified as 'capital expenditure', which includes:

• MUGAs
• Daily Mile Tracks
• Forest School Environments
• Trim Trails
• Fixed Playground Equipment (e.g. climbing frames, play towers)

This rule was first introduced in the 2023/24 Sport Premium budget, but has been carried over to the 2024/25 academic year. Schools across the nation have been left confused on what they can spend their PE and Sport Premium.
