DfE announce Primary PE and sport premium deadline extension
FAO: Primary Schools
The Department for Education (DfE) have extended the 31st March deadline for spending the Primary PE and sport premium funding that was carried forward from the 2019/20 academic year.
Schools will now have until the end of this (2020/21) academic year to spend the carried forward funding, in line with the deadline for spending this year’s Primary PE and sport premium allocation.
Updated DfE guidance and conditions of grant documents can be found here.
Now that schools have re-opened fully we hope that they will be able to review the needs of their pupils and plan their remaining spend, to have the greatest impact. The workforce is the bedrock of the educational system and investing in their professional learning will be a way to ensure sustainability.
Possible ways to utilise the funding include:
Accredited courses – L4 qualification in supporting pupil well being and L3 award in dance
Other professional learning opportunities
Recovery curriculum and active classrooms - Teach Active
Developing outdoor learning – Orienteering
Sports Leadership
PE apprenticeships
