Today we're proud to launch our latest Class of 2035 Report, warning that unless urgent action is taken to increase physical activity among children, this generation will face poorer health, lower happiness and reduced life chances over the next decade and beyond. 📈

Furthermore, by 2035, if current trends continue:

· Almost half (48%) of children will spend three hours or more on screens for entertainment each day, up from 34% in 2025.

· More than a third (34%) will fail to be active for even 30 minutes a day, well short of the UK’s Chief Medical Officers’ guidance of 60 active minutes. · Obesity and mental health disorders are projected to increase significantly, with more than 180,000 children (24%) classified as clinically obese by 2035.

· Annual Type 2 diabetes diagnoses in children will double, reaching 500 new cases each year.

· Schools will see declining attendance, engagement, and belonging among the least active pupils.

It's clear that we need to take urgent action to ensure that these statistics don't become a reality for future generations.

Alongside our friends over at @afPE_PE, we have welcomed the publication of the Curriculum and Assessment Review’s final report and the Government’s response to the recommendations, calling for today to turn the page on a new chapter for Physical Education (PE), school sport and play. 🙌

“Movement has a central role in cognitive development and performance, physical activity is essential to health and wellbeing, while play and sport are invaluable contexts for social development and the acquisition of life skills. Today’s announcements respond to our call - PE and school sport are not optional extras, they must serve the needs of every child," @AliOliverYST, Youth Sport Trust CEO. ❤️

As a children's charity, we welcome this response and look forward to seeing the positive changes that will happen as a result.

Today we're excited to launch the Youth Sport Trust's Well School Well Check! 🙌

A Well School still has high expectations, but places just as much emphasis on health and wellbeing as it does on academic performance. It understands that children and young people are more effective learners when they are happy and healthy, and that staff are better educators when they are genuinely supported. ❤️

Benefits of being a Well School:

✅ Increases in progress and attainment
✅ Improvements in physical and mental health
✅ Increased attendance
✅ Higher self-efficacy
✅ Increased executive function
✅ Improved behaviour
✅ Reduced exclusions
✅ Improved job satisfaction
✅ Increased staff retention

Today’s announcement of School Sport Partnerships and an Enrichment Framework during National School Sports Week is an important step towards a future where every child can enjoy the life changing benefits of play and sport," @AliOliverYST, CEO of the Youth Sport Trust.

"In my new role as National School Sport Champion, it is my mission to get as many young people moving on a daily basis as possible. The power of sport helped me find my passion as a young person, so I’m firmly encouraging kids across the UK to get involved in ‘60 minutes a day - of PE, Sport and Play.”
