If an e-petition reaches 100,000 signatures the petition becomes eligible for a Parliamentary debate (usually Monday 4.30pm in Westminster Hall).

Schools: Leisure Centres
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what financial support is available for school-owned leisure centres that have had departmental funding removed following changes to the Educational and Skills Funding Agency.

In previous years, some local authorities have applied to the department to request approval to allocate additional funding for schools with leisure facilities, as ’exceptional circumstances’ funding, within their local funding formulae. The department is not yet in a position to confirm how ’exceptional circumstances’ funding will operate for 2025/26 but will do so in due course.
