This morning the government has announced new funding for school sport and PE worth £150m a year for the next two years.
Schools will be able to pay for extra coaching sessions to improve the quality of sports and PE provision.

The Government says the new scheme will involve:
Eugene Minogue, Parkour UK Chief Executive
“This investment in school sport is very much welcomed by Parkour UK. We share the view of the Youth Sport Trust, that if young people are to develop a lifelong enjoyment of PE and sport then the focus must be on ensuring primary schools get the support and expertise they need. By providing a greater role for NGB’s to provide specialist coaching and skills development, such as our Parkour UK ADAPT 1st4sport Introductory CPD Award in Teaching Parkour/Freerunning course for Teachers, is the way to secure a high quality experience of PE & Sport.”
