This includes bold targets to reach communities with the lowest levels of physical activity.<\/p><p>As part of this strategy, we have set up a new National Physical Activity Taskforce to ensure we meet these targets, and will work closely with Sport England to track and measure the impact of our interventions. This will include measuring the progress made in tackling inactivity annually through the Active Lives Children survey, and in real time by seeking new sources of data that allow us to monitor progress.<\/p><p>Schools play a key role in allowing all children to have high quality opportunities to take part in PE and sport. In July we published an update to the School Sport and Activity Action Plan. This builds on the announcement we made in March that set out new ambitions for equal access to PE and sport and guidance on how to deliver 2 hours of quality PE a week, alongside over £600 million funding for the Primary PE and Sport Premium and the School Games Organiser network.<\/p><p>The Department for Education will be introducing a new digital tool to support schools with their reporting requirements for their PE and sport premium spend. This will hold schools accountable for how they use their PE and sport premium funding allocation to measure and improve the quality of PE and sport they provide.<\/p><p>Alongside this, the government is also investing over £300 million in grassroots football, tennis, swimming pools and multi-sport facilities across the UK by 2025 to increase participation and ensure physical activity should be accessible to all, no matter a person\u2019s background or location. The historic level of direct investment to build or upgrade thousands of grassroots facilities across the UK and support swimming pools in England, will also increase access for thousands more young people.<\/p>"}

The DSG is made up of four blocks; the schools block, the high needs block, the early years block and the Central Schools Services Block (CSSB).<\/p><p>Funding for the schools, high needs block and the CSSB all comes from the core school budget. The overall core school budget will total over £59.6 billion in 2024/25, the highest ever level in real terms per pupil, as measured by the Institute of Fiscal Studies. This means that, including the additional funding for teachers\u2019 pay, funding for both mainstream schools and high needs is over £1.8 billion higher in 2024/25, compared to 2023/24.<\/p><p>The early years block consists of funding for the 15 and 30 hours per week early years entitlements for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, as well as supplementary funding for maintained nursery schools, the early years pupil premium, and the disability access fund. The Department is providing £204 million of additional funding in 2023/24 and £288 million in 2024/25 for the existing entitlements. This funding is on top of the £4.1 billion that we expect to provide by 2027/28 to facilitate the expansion of the new entitlements announced in the Spring Budget. In 2023/24, we expect to spend a total of £3.9 billion through the DSG, with an additional £204 million through the early years supplementary grant, nationally, on the early years entitlements and other early years funding streams.<\/p><p>Each of the blocks of the DSG is distributed according to objective national funding formulae. In 2023/24, York\u2019s December DSG allocation included £119.6 million in schools block funding, £27.7 million in high needs block funding, £11.4 million in early years block funding and £2.1 million in CSSB block funding. York\u2019s total DSG allocation in 2023/24 was over £160.7 million.<\/p>"}
