PE and Sport Premium - In September 2017, we announced that we had doubled the funding
for the Primary PE and Sport Premium, with SDIL revenue contributing an additional
£160 million a year to funding from the Department for Education and the Department
for Health and Social Care. School-level allocations are available on gov.uk at: <a

Life Skills (ELS) - We have invested £22 million in an ELS programme to enable disadvantaged
children and young people living in some of the most deprived parts of the country
to participate in regular extra-curricular activities. The ELS programme is targeting
disadvantaged children and young people aged 5-18 across 12 Opportunity Areas (OAs).
We have distributed funding of £7.95 million in 2017-18 and £13.8 million in 2018-19
to the 12 OAs to deliver ELS activities. We do not have funding data broken down by
academies and non-academies.</li><li>National Schools Breakfast Programme (NSBP) -
We are investing up to £26 million into the NSBP. This money will kick start or improve
breakfast clubs in over 1,700 academies and non-academies. The focus of these clubs
has been to target the most disadvantaged areas of the country (including the Department
for Education’s OAs) to help make sure every child gets the best start in life. Information
from the programme is still being collected and data on funding at local authority
level is not available at this stage.</li></ul><p> </p>
