With Parliament now in recess for the summer, we wanted to share some highlights since our last advocacy update. 👇

1. The Prime Minister announced the Government will introduce a new approach to PE and school sport, including new School Sports Partnerships and a new Enrichment Framework.

2. Shortly after the Chancellor’s Spending Review, the Government confirmed the funding of the Primary PE & Sport Premium for the 2025/26 Academic Year.

3. Ahead of National School Sports Week 2025, we held a Parliamentary event where we were delighted to be joined by attendees including Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock, Stuart Andrew (Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport), and Munira Wilson (Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Education), as well as representatives from the Education and Culture, Media and Sport select committees.

In his first party conference speech since becoming Prime Minister, Keir Starmer highlighted the need to build a new future for our children. Delivering on this ambition requires providing every child with access to daily physical activity, including through expanded opportunities at school.

At present, too many children are inactive. By putting PE, sport and play at the heart of the school day including through a revised curriculum, we have the potential to develop children who are happier and healthier, able to access skills and enjoy new experiences.

The new pilot of breakfast clubs in particular offers a way to integrate more physical activity into young lives. Creating active breakfast clubs can support children to start lessons having been fed, feeling energised and ready to learn.
