Unspent PE and Sport Premium funding from 2021 to 2022 academic year must be returned to the DfE

05/10/22

The deadline for using Primary PE and Sport Premium allocated in the 2021 to 2022 academic year was 31st July 2022.

The exceptional permissions for schools to carry forward PE and Sport Premium funding which was granted during the COVID-19 pandemic has now ended. Any schools with unspent funding from 2021 to 22 academic year should make arrangements to return this to the Department. Please contact the DfE if you require advice on how to do this.

DfE will continue to sample school PE and Sport Premium reports. Where unspent 2021/22 funding is identified, DfE will seek to recover any monies which have not already been returned.
