The Department for Eductaion has published an updated plan for sports and physical education.
High quality physical education (PE) and sport are a vital part of what makes a great
school. Physical activity has a wide range of benefits to pupil health and wellbeing, and
the best schools acknowledge that – far from being an ‘either-or’ decision – sport and
academic achievement go hand in hand.
The action plan sets out how the government intends to support senior leaders and teachers to provide
high quality PE and sport for at least two hours a week, complemented by a wide range
of extra-curricular sport and competitive opportunities.
