Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 27 March 2017 to Question 68370, what plans her Department has to collect information on the number and proportion of primary school children who receive a minimum of two hours of sport and PE activity each week; and if she will make a statement.

As stated in the answer to question 68370, the Government does not set a target for how much curriculum time schools must dedicate to PE or specify the sports and activities that must be taught in schools.

The new Active Lives Survey, which is run by Sport England, measures how people engage in sport and physical activity. The first set of results were published in January 2017. At this stage the results do not include data about children aged 5 to 15. This information, including data on levels of physical activity among children will be available from January 2019, when the first full set of results will be published.
