today (25 June) on the PE and Sport Premium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive, said: \u201cWe welcome the Government\u2019s commitment today (25 June) to continue the PE and Sport Premium, at \u00a3320m for the academic year 2022\/23.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding will go a long way to ensuring that a firm focus on the health and wellbeing of our children and young people is central to school life from the new academic year in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchools sit at the heart of communities and are critical settings for supporting children\u2019s health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis commitment will continue to enable schools and their wider workforce to maximise and diversify the physical activity options available, supporting children to be as active as possible before, during, and after the school day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFun, meaningful and inclusive physical activity should be a normal part of every child\u2019s daily school routine in order to provide a platform for lifelong participation \u2013 from the journey to and from school, engagement in high-quality PE lessons and varied extra-curricular programmes, to active breaks and physically active learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this is a positive step from the Government, it is important that this funding commitment is matched with a renewed focus on accountability and evidence, best practice and sector-wide collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cukactive urges the Government to use this as an opportunity to develop and deliver a long-term strategic approach that empowers and enables governors, head teachers, school staff and their wider communities to plan ahead, as part of a national strategy and whole-school community approach to improving the health of children and young people.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ukactive has issued the following statement in response to the Government\u2019s announcement today (25 June) on the PE and Sport
