Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what requirements are placed on alternative provision settings to deliver physical education.
Although alternative provision (AP) settings are not required to follow the national curriculum, there is an expectation that they should aim to deliver a high-quality, broad and balanced curriculum, including physical education that responds to the needs and ambitions of all children to give them the foundations and resilience to succeed in education and in their future life.
Data on the amount and type of outdoor space for all schools, including state-funded AP schools can be found here: https://depositedpapers.parliament.uk/depositedpaper/2285521/files.
The department does not hold information on dedicated space for indoor physical education in AP settings.
