PE Sport funding 2017-2018 What is PE Sport Funding? The Government provides additional funding for physical education (PE) and sport in schools. This funding is to be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision resulting in increased numbers of pupils developing healthy life styles, raising their performance levels and engaging in PE and sport.
