Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she is taking steps to fund the Daily Mile after 2024.
This question was answered on 19th October 2023
The Department is continuing to work with the Daily Mile and Sport England to support more nurseries and schools to take up the Daily Mile. Currently over 8,000 nurseries and schools in England are signed up to take part. Nearly £2 million of public funding has been committed from Sport England, between 2018 and 2024 to increase participation and build sustainable partnerships. The Department does not provide funding to the Daily Mile Foundation and there are no plans to do so.
