Take PE and sports premium cash off schools that misspend it, urges new report

The government should hold headteachers to account for how they spend the PE and sports premium and claw back money if it is misspent, a new report has urged.

An all-party parliamentary group has called on the government to stop relying on “market research companies” which don’t rigorously check how schools are using the cash, and instead have “proper, effective Ofsted scrutiny” of how it is spent.
