The government is committed to supporting children and young people to be active and achieve the 60 active minutes of activity recommended by the Chief Medical Officer. Sport England’s Active Lives Children and Young People Survey provides a comprehensive overview of activity levels in children across England aged 5 to 16, and years 1 to 11. This data can be accessed via the latest report, which focused on the 2020/21 academic year, and is available at: https://www.sportengland.org/know-your-audience/data/active-lives. The data can be broken down by local authority and region, but not by constituency, and includes data from the 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years.
