Reopening of the PE and sport premium digital expenditure reporting return (maintained schools)

Thank you to all those schools who have completed the DfE's PE and sport premium expenditure reporting return.

The DfE are aware of some schools experienced digital issues trying to access the form before the original 31 July 2025 deadline.

The DfE has therefore reopened the reporting window, and this will stay open until 5pm Tuesday 30 September 2025.

To note, a school which has converted to an academy after 1 September 2025 should use the school's previous 2024 to 2025 UKPRN for DfE Sign-in log-in details to access the expenditure reporting return.

All schools that receive this funding must complete and send in the reporting return. This is necessary to meet the grant requirements and failure to do so may result in the Secretary of State recovering some, or all the PE and sport premium grant you have been allocated.

Schools may be contacted by DFE directly and reminded to take action by Tuesday 30 September 2025.

To help you to meet the deadline, you can read further supporting information in the expenditure reporting guidance.

For any queries, you can contact DfE via the customer help portal.
