Before they stepped out at Wembley, England's players were learning their skills at primary school
We want to give pupils a love of sport and the best opportunity to be the stars of tomorrow
It's why we're giving primary schools an extra £320m for PE, sports & physical activity
Responding to these findings, @LisaWainwright5 stresses that it is vital that children’s health and wellbeing is placed at the heart of our recovery efforts and every child is given every opportunity to be active again 💬
Research by the Alliance has shown that children and young people are less likely to return to organised community activity post-lockdown than adults.

“Ultimately, the most important thing for young people is a broad and balanced curriculum where we don’t use the language of ‘catch-up’ and think: ‘Right, I’ll take them out of their PE lessons and give them extra maths’”: my comments to @CommonsEd https://t.co/MxhKq2m3yB
Don’t tell me I’m behind.
Don’t tell me I’ll be held back for ever.
Don’t tell me I need longer at school.
Don’t tell me I’m lost.
Tell me I can do it.
Tell me you’ll help me.
Tell me you believe in me.
Tell me we’ll do it together.
Yours sincerely,
The children.

Why are some schools not expecting PE to be taught to students at a time when there are serious concerns for children’s mental & physical well-being?🤔@afPE_PE@Cambs_PE
HMCI: "Our reports show that children’s physical fitness has suffered from lockdown. School leaders told us that children came back less active and less fit. This highlights the importance of physical education and school sport." # OfstedAR20
