'Taunton head teachers warn Education Secretary over sports funding cuts': hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hit… All credit to @LucyMPowell for once again demonstrating her commitment to being a 'listening' Education Secretary that is vital to ensuring that the needs of schools are fully considered e.g. the withdrawal of direct funding will undeniably hurt schools re: #PhysicalEducation, School Sports + Physical Activity (PESSPA). It needs to be remembered that there was NEVER any public consultation as to the removal of PESS Premium funding and forging of the National PE and School Sport Partnerships Network strategy (influenced by its first incarnation that @TES investigated and criticised greatly). Secondly, whilst we advocated much needed change within the accountability and scrutiny of the PESS Premium, this could've been easily addressed by @educationgovuk rather than complete removal (as confirmed on Thursday 21st May 2026 - the eve of half term: gov.uk/government/news/1bn-b… - 'published under the 2024 to 2026 Starmer Labour government') The third planned strategy (costing the tax payer circa £520m) makes the bold DfE claim that 'EVERY child' will benefit yet if there is no statutory requisite for schools to participate within the Network coupled with sub-standard external inspection, then this will fail from the outset. To our research, this Strategy is yet to be fully publicly endorsed by the new Prime Minister and Education Secretary. Remember that 2hrs PE per week Govt. target remains 'aspirational' and non-mandated and with no accompanying CORE subject status for #PhysicalEducation (as with #PSHE), both of which would've provided invaluable underpinning for guaranteeing active healthy lifestyles at the heart of EVERY school....and for 'EVERY child'. Perhaps if more #headteachers were to come together and make their concerns known then it could result in a resumption of direct PESSPA funding to schools post 2026-27 academic year but with the necessary compromise of raised external scrutiny to ensure that ALL schools abide by DfE published criteria. In the meantime, we also still await a cohesive Labour Govt. #childhoodobesity strategy that was last presented to the country via Theresa May's Govt. administration.

(Updated) DfE has just published individual school #PrimaryPESportPremium funding allocations for academic year 2026 to 2027 ( a.k.a 'PE Transition Grant'): skillsfunding.service.gov.uk… Furthermore, a polite reminder of the 'conditions of the grant for the academic year 2026 to 2027' as stipulated by @educationgovuk : gov.uk/government/publicatio…

🏃‍♀️⚽ PE is about SO much more than physical skills! When a child catches a ball, their brain is working hard! 🧠 👀 Tracking with their eyes ⚖️ Balancing their body 🖐️ Coordinating hands and fingers ⏱️ Judging speed, distance and timing 🎯 Focusing and making decisions 💬 Listening, communicating and cooperating 💚 Managing emotions and building confidence All these developing systems work together in one simple activity. PE is brain development in action. Give children rich opportunities to move, think, connect and thrive. Because movement isn't an interruption to learning — it's an essential part of it. #PrimaryPE #EYFS #ChildDevelopment #PhysicalDevelopment #LovePE

So true. 🧡

Reconnecting children with movement, play and learning Children's lives are changing — with less spontaneous movement, outdoor play, physical challenge and face-to-face interaction. Schools have an increasingly important role in creating opportunities for children to move, play, explore and develop through physical experiences. Love PE CPD turns this thinking into practical action. We give teachers engaging, stimulating and progressive lesson ideas, that work alongside their curricular, practical strategies and the confidence to create rich movement experiences that develop physical skills, confidence, social skills and thinking. Because great PE isn't just about getting children active. It's about helping children become confident, capable and motivated to move for life. The current 2026–27 DfE guidance released last week - says schools should prioritise CPD, and specifically says funding can be used for professional development, mentoring, support, training and external suitably qualified providers. It also says CPD should build sustainable staff capability rather than simply paying someone to deliver PE lessons for the school. “Don't spend your PE Premium on someone to take PE off your teachers' hands. Invest it in making your teachers more confident and capable.” Enquire today. #PrimaryPE #PEandSportPremium #PECPD #PrimaryEducation #MATs

👏🇬🇧 Amazing👏🇬🇧

Schools will receive approximately £8000 median average per eligible school as a one-off payment in the Autumn to be spent within the 2026/27 academic year. This will ensure schools are fully supported as the new Partnerships Network works with them from January to get up and running, delivering support from April 2027.   news.service.education.gov.u…
