Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans the Government has to provide funding for the School Games Organisers Network and the Primary PE and Sport Premium beyond the 2025-26 academic year; what her planned timeline is for the procurement of the new School Sport Network; what steps are being taken to ensure continuity of the school sport workforce during this period of transition; and how her Department plans to support schools and local partnerships to provide high-quality PE, sport and physical activity opportunities for pupils.

This government values PE and sport as a great opportunity to improve not only the health but also the wellbeing and lives of children and young people.

The government has confirmed funding for the School Games Organisers (SGO) network for the 2026/27 financial year. The commitment of further funding recognises the value of the SGO Network’s expertise and support, which will be vital as we move towards delivery of new Physical Education and School Sport Partnerships Network. Further details on the PE and School Sports Partnerships will be confirmed in due course.
