To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether time spent (a) on roll call and general administration, (b) changing, (c) travelling and (d) before a lesson starting late may be included in the two hours spent on physical education in the public service agreement target. (181785)

As with all other curriculum subjects, time spent on roll call in physical education (PE) lessons is part of the timetabled curriculum, so this will count towards the two-hour target. Time spent on changing for PE lessons also counts towards the two-hour target, as this is used by teachers to explain the lesson plan to pupils and to feed back on their performance after the lesson.

Time spent travelling to or from PE and sporting opportunities does not count towards the two-hour total. As take-up of the two hours is taken from a typical week, time spent before a lesson which starts late does not count towards the two-hour target.
