afPE’s CEO Sue Wilkinson MBE said - "afPE is adamant that every child should receive weekly 2 hours of physical education and 2 hours of physical activity in school, as well as a chance of 2 hours of physical activity in the community.
To make our children healthier for life, we must also put physical development at the heart of early years education, and prioritise every child’s play with 60 minutes of physical activity daily.
afPE will be ensuring that all of these messages are conveyed to politicians and press alike during the General Election campaign started by the Prime Minister today.
We can never take for granted the delivery of high quality PE to our deserving schoolchildren and students by our excellent workforce.
The lifelong benefits children gain from education in and through the physical domain must feature in and help drive every government’s education, health, social, and economic agenda."
