The government has provided funding of over £450 million per annum since the academic year 2013 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and will see money going directly to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

At Willows, we have effectively used the funding over the past 7 years to develop PE in many different ways, which have had a huge impact on our children. We have invested in teacher training year on year, lunch time provision, a running and bike track along with bmx bikes, a multi use game area and an outdoor gym, to name a few. All of these investments have had a huge impact on so many children that have walked through the doors at Willows.
