Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of including travel to swimming lessons within the scope of the sport premium.

Schools receive core funding for activities within the curriculum, including delivery and travel for swimming and water safety lessons. After pupils have completed their core curriculum swimming and water safety lessons, it is permissible to use the physical education and sport premium for top-up lessons, including transport costs for pupils who have not met national curriculum requirements.
