Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what criteria will be used to allocate the £200 million capital funding for school sports facilities; and whether this funding will prioritise schools with inadequate or ageing PE infrastructure.

The government is investing almost £200 million to improve school sport facilities as part of its wider commitment to school sport. We will work with Sport England to ensure it supports schools to provide accessible, usable sports facilities that help tackle inequalities in access to sport and physical activity.

Further details on the allocation criteria and distribution method will be set out in due course.
