Primary PE and Sport Premium

Schools receive general funding for curriculum provision, which includes swimming and water safety lessons. Schools should therefore not use the PE and sport premium to fund curriculum swimming and water safety lessons.

Swim England and The Association for Physical Education (AfPE) provide guidance and a template for reporting the use of the Primary PE and Sports Premium;
