PE & Sports Grants
What is the PE and Sports Grant?
The Education Funding Agency is providing additional funding to each school for this academic year 2023 - 2024 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Malden Manor PE and Sports Grant
Funding for schools is calculated by reference to the number of primary-aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11), as recorded in the annual schools census in January 2023. For this academic year Malden Manor will receive approximately £19,000.
Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding might include:
• hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers when teaching PE
• supporting and engaging the least active children through new or additional Change4Life clubs
• paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport
• providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE and sport
• running sport competitions, or increasing pupils’ participation in School Games
• buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE and sport
• providing some places for pupils on after school sports clubs and holiday clubs
• pooling the additional funding with that of other local schools.

Swimming:
28% of pupils within our year 6 cohort in the 2023 to 2024 academic year met the national curriculum requirement to:
• swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• use a range of strokes effectively
• perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
This data is taken from our Year 4 swimming lessons in 2021 – 2022.
