Health: Schools

Volume 463: debated on Tuesday 24 July 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of school children spent at least two hours a week on high quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum; and whether the target of 75 per cent. for such performance set in the Choosing Health paper has been achieved. (150287)

I have been asked to reply.

The 2005/06 School Sport Survey found that overall, 80 per cent. of pupils in schools within a school sport partnership took part in at least two hours of high quality PE and school sport in a typical week—exceeding the 2006 PSA target of 75 per cent.
