Schools: Sports

Mr. Hunt
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether he has made a recent estimate of the proportion of schools which hold an annual sports day.

Mr. Iain Wright
[holding answer 10 February 2010]: The annual PE and Sport Survey collects data from maintained schools relating to pupils’ participation in PE and sport. The 2008/09 survey found that all primary schools and 98 per cent. of secondary schools held a sports day during the last academic year.
