Cherry Orchard Primary School shares the Birmingham Strategy for PE and School Sport:

The 2026/27 academic year the government has phased out the Sports premium. Schools will instead receive a transitional allocation to cover the Autumn term, before the funding is replaced centrally by a new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network from Spring 2027. 

The transition to the new system introduces several key changes:

• Transitional Funding: Primary schools will receive a reduced, one-term transitional payment in Autumn 2026 to support the move to the new system. 
• New Network: Rather than a direct grant, £580 million is being redirected to a new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network. This network will offer targeted support, specialist coaching, and resources rather than direct spending allocations
