Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which 16 to 19 year old sports academies were established in 2015 and 2016; and which of these remain open.

The Department for Education funds sports provision for 16 to 19 year olds in a wide range of schools, colleges and other providers. However, the Department does not directly fund any sport academies, although the Department does fund League Football Education and the FA Premier League Limited for delivery of education and training in association with football clubs. Some education and training linked to sporting organisations is also delivered through sub-contracting arrangements with funded institutions.

The Department publishes annually details of the funding allocations to 16 to 19 institutions – the latest information is here:
