Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to raise awareness of the Chief Medical Officer's guidance on recommended activity levels for children and young people among teachers and schools.

To help children meet the UK Chief Medical Officers' physical activity guidelines, the Department has worked with sector organisations, such as the Youth Sport Trust and Women’s Football Association, on an ongoing programme of communications activity to raise the profile of physical activity.

On 8 March 2023, the Department announced over £600 million across the next two academic years for the primary Physical Education and Sport Premium. The Premium can be used by schools to help provide access for pupils to at least 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, as well as providing additional funding to support schools to ensure girls and boys have equal access to sport in school.
