Summary – Funding and
Value for Money
The work of the Community and School Sport
Department is funded by the Education, Sport and
Culture Department and receives a grant from the Home
Affairs Department. We are also reliant on support from
private sector sponsorship to develop our services further.
It is therefore vital that we are able to demonstrate that
we provide value for money.
Ofsted’s most recent physical education survey, ‘Beyond
2012 – outstanding physical education for all’, identified a
number of common weaknesses how schools (and school
sports partnerships) used government funding relating
to PE and school sports. As a result recommendations
were set out to highlight best practice and effective use
of funding. These recommendations are clearly identified
within this business plan.
