Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Education and Training Inspectorate's thematic evaluation of physical education provision in primary schools, published October 2022, what discussions he has had with the Education and Training Inspectorate on children receiving two hours of weekly physical education.

Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.

The Education and Training Inspectorate report covers schools in Northern Ireland and Ministers have not had discussions with them on the topic. Ofsted is currently undertaking research in schools across England to explore the quality of PE and Sport. Ofsted will publish a subject report outlining its findings later this year.
