Guidance and use

  • This tool models 2026-27 on an indicative basis using the published 2025-26 PE and sport premium formula and payment pattern.
  • The grant may not continue for 2026-27, and final arrangements may change.
  • If the grant continues in a similar form, PE and sport premium supports additional and sustainable improvements to PE, sport, and physical activity in primary settings in England.
  • The grant should not be used for core curriculum PE, direct teaching costs, or capital expenditure.
  • If the grant continues, schools should publish spending and impact information by 31 July and complete the digital return by 31 July each year.

Important note

Indicative calculator only, not a legal allocation notice. This tool assumes the published 2025-26 formula and payment pattern are rolled forward for 2026-27, but the grant may not continue. Always verify funding and payment details against official DfE publications and communications.
