As part of the legacy of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, the government provided primary schools with extra funding for the academic years 2014/2017 to improve provision of PE and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, is ring fenced and therefore can only be spent on improving the provision of PE. Each school will receive £8,000 plus an extra £5 per child.
