2018-19 Primary PE and Sports Grant Allocations

An update on the Primary PE and Sports 2018-19 Academic Year Allocations.

On the 31 October, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) notified the Local Authority (LA) of its schools 2018-19 academic year Primary PE and Sports allocations.

As a result of this notification, the Primary PE and Sports payment for the period September 2018 to March 2019 will be included in the November School’s advances. View the table of allocations here (PDF, 377.5 KB)

The allocations for the academic year 2018-19 are calculated by the ESFA using the number of pupils in year groups 1 to 6, as recorded in the January 2018 census, as follows:

  • schools with 17 or more pupils receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil
  • schools with 16 or fewer pupils receive £1,000 per pupil

The terms and conditions on which the grant is allocated to Schools are available on the Government's website

Please note for policy related queries and those related to the allocation of the grant, please contact SportandPE.MAILBOX@education.gsi.gov.uk.

The specific detail in respect of the future allocations to schools has not been released and our expectation, as in previous years, is that the details will be issued annually each October.
