Primary PE and sports premium funding for 2025 to 2026

The government have confirmed that they will provide £320 million funding for the primary PE and sport premium in the academic year 2025 to 2026 for all eligible schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to PE, school sport and physical activity.

In 2025 to 2026, schools will receive 2 equal payments; 50% of eligible funding will be delivered in autumn followed by a second 50% payment in spring using the same formula as in previous years.

The Primary PE and sport premium expenditure reporting return opened on Wednesday 11 June at 9am and will close on Thursday 31 July at 5pm.

To support mandatory completion, PE and sport premium for primary schools guidance is available on GOV.UK.
