Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 1 June 2026 to Question 3393 on PE and Sport Premium, what assessment she has made of replacing the Physical Education and sport premium with the new Partnerships Network on schools in Yeovil constituency.

On 21 May 2026, the government announced a new approach to PE and school sport funding.

We will procure a National Delivery Partner (NDP) to establish the new PE and School Sport Partnership Network. The NDP will conduct an assessment of need in each area and work with local partners and experts to ensure support is tailored to the needs of schools and communities, including in Yeovil.

The new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network will provide more targeted and consistent support to schools, focused on improving the quality of PE and increasing participation for all pupils, especially those who are least active.
