The government introduced the PE and sports premium for primary schools in 2014.
The additional annual funding is provided to improve the provision of physical education and sports in primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spend on the provision of PE and sport within schools.
Dinton has also achieved the Healthy Schools Award (Bronze) and the School Games Mark (Gold) for the last 3 years.
