Schools in England are to receive extra funding to open their sports facilities outside school hours in light of mounting concern over lack of provision for young people during lockdown.
On Friday morning, the Department of Education announced that £10m to “encourage pupils to be more physically active” would be included as part of a £1bn programme of school building.
The funding will be distributed by Sport England through its Active Partnerships county-level networks, which will work with local schools to identify those most in need.
