Update on School Sports Funding (PE & Sport Premium)
The UK government has changed how primary schools receive funding for physical education. Starting this academic year (2026/27), the traditional “PE and Sport Premium” grant is changing to a new national PE and School Sport Partnerships Network.
As a Local Authority Maintained School, we are receiving transitional funding this year while the government rolls out this new system.
What this means for your child:
- No disruption: Our daily PE lessons, after-school clubs, and sports activities will continue as normal.
- Continued inclusion: We remain fully committed to providing active, inclusive, and fun sports opportunities for all children, with a particular focus on girls’ sports and supporting pupils with SEND.
- Future growth: The new partnership network will give our school access to wider regional sporting networks, competitions, and specialist training starting in Spring 2027.
