FUNDING

Setting up a school table tennis club fully meets the criteria set out by the Department for Education £150m funding for school sport in primary schools. From the 1st October 2013 funding will be automatically distributed by the Local Authority or Education Funding Agency (Acadamies) directly to every state primary school in England.

Schools are required to spend the money on sport and PE.

DFE PRESS RELEASE 2013

"School sport is set to be transformed this autumn when the government’s new £150 million funding package comes into play. The cash will go directly into the hands of primary head teachers to spend on improving sport and physical education (PE) for their pupils. The funding , which works out at around £8,785 for an average primary school of 250 pupils - is ring-fenced and must be used to improve PE and sport. Within that head teachers are free to use the money how they choose"

Examples of possible uses of the funding include:

• hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches
• running sport competitions or increasing participation in the School Games
• providing cover or professional development so more teachers are trained in PE
• buying new equipment, from football kits to tennis racquets
• providing places for pupils on after-school sport clubs and holiday clubs
• pooling money together with other local schools

A good resource for guidance and information on school sports funding can be found on the DfE website.
