The UK government has announced the continuation of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding for the 2025-2026 academic year, allocating £320 million to support primary schools in enhancing their physical education (PE), school sport, and physical activity programs. 

Background:

The Primary PE and Sport Premium was initially launched in 2013, following the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London, to encourage physical activity in schools. The funding is seen as a vital tool for promoting healthy lifestyles and providing children with access to quality PE and sports opportunities.
