The government has committed to funding the primary school Sports Premium up until 2020 – an investment worth £750 million.
The pledge, which is dependent on the outcome of the next General Election, would see the existing £150 million a year initiative continued for the duration of the next Parliament.
Prime minister David Cameron has also announced that an additional £11 million is to be invested into the National School Games to help fund School Games Organisers across England – it is the fifth academic year that this funding has been made available.
Elsewhere, primary schools have until March 24 to submit applications to the £18 million Primary Spaces fund set up late last year to improve outdoor spaces for school sport.
