	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not collect information on the effect of primary school sport partnerships on sport participation. The last school sport survey was published in September 2010 and is available online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/pe-and-sport-survey-academic-year-2009-to-2010" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/pe-and-sport-survey-academic-year-2009-to-2010</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The report measured take-up of PE and sport by young people in schools and colleges over the period in which school sport partnerships were centrally funded. The survey contained a number of key findings which included information across years 1-11, and found that 84% of pupils were spending at least 120 minutes a week taking part in curriculum PE. Since we introduced the Primary PE and Sport premium, time spent on curricular PE at primary level has increased by 13 minutes from 109 to 122 minutes, from 2012/13 to 2013/14.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Funding for school sports partnerships ceased in 2011 as too little money reached the school directly and the programme did not have the intended impact on participation in sport.</p><p> </p><p>It is for this reason that the government is committed to supporting primary school sport with £150 million a year, paid directly to headteachers. Through the primary PE and sport premium, over £300 million of ring-fenced funding was paid direct to schools across academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15. The government has committed to continuing to support this until 2020.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know from the interim findings of our independent research of the Primary PE and sport premium that it is having a positive impact on PE and school sport.
