Levelling the playing field: the PE Subject Report 

This report evaluates the common features of PE in 25 primary schools and 25 secondary schools visited between November 2022 and June 2023. It identifies strengths and areas for development in how pupils are taught the subject. It builds on our PE research review, which was published last year.

Sports Premium reporting 

The reporting deadline for this current academic year is 31st July 2024 but we strongly recommend that you update it regularly.  Schools must publish the amount of Primary PE and Sport Premium received for this year 2023-24; a full breakdown of how it has been spent (or will be spent); what impact the school has seen on pupils’ Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity, participation and attainment and how the improvements will be sustainable in the future.

On  Wednesday 13th September 2023 Department for Education, Association for Physical Education and the Youth Sport Trust delivered a collaborative webinar that focused on the changes to the guidance, and reporting procedures. The attendees also had an opportunity to submit questions to representatives from the DfE, afPE and YST.
