The Department of Education have released new non-statutory guidance for schools. ‘Enhancing PE provision and improving access to extracurricular sport in school’, provides school leaders with insight into the importance of being active for the education and development of young people.
The document informs schools how to meet the ambitions of the national curriculum and the CMOs’ physical activity guidelines by showcasing case studies of how this has been successfully achieved. The guidance will set out a variety of schools’ approaches of embedding PE, physical activity and sport into their culture, ethos, and values, and it will set out how they approach delivering:
• a minimum 2 hours of PE per week during curriculum time, and
• equality of access to PE and extra-curricular school sport and competition
