Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when he plans to announce future funding for the primary PE and sport premium; and what assessment he has made of the impact on (a) the efficacy of programmes for pupil health and wellbeing, (b) additional costs for participant schools and (c) staff job security of announcing the level of PE and sport premium funding less than three months before the start of the next school year.

The department is aware of the importance of giving primary schools as much notice as possible of the funding for PE and sport premium in order to support its effective use. We will confirm the level of funding for the PE and sport premium for the 2022/23 academic year in due course.
