<p>Over 17,500 schools are voluntarily taking part in the Sainsbury's School Games—over
70% of all schools in England—including approximately 13,000 primary schools. Participating
schools can choose from sports formats developed by 31 National Governing bodies for
sport. Schools are supported by 450 School Games organisers across the country, who
are connecting School Games to community sports clubs to help ensure activity is sustained
beyond school.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, through the primary PE and sport premium,
we are investing over £450 million across government (up to and including the academic
year 2015/16) to improve physical education and sport in primary schools. Heads are
free to choose how they use the funding to secure the greatest impact, which may include
working with local sports organisations and/or increasing pupils' participation in
the School Games.</p><p> </p>
