PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Schools: Leisure Centres (8 October 2024)

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.

Asked by:
Josh Dean (Labour)

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.
