The Government recognises the physical and mental health benefits that leading an active lifestyle can bring for all children and young people.

The Department for Education has recently launched an independent curriculum and assessment review that will advocate for a rich, broad, and inclusive curriculum that includes physical education, which the Department of Health and Social Care is also feeding into.
