§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will name three schools in the London Borough of Lewisham that have attained the public sector agreement target to deliver school children a minimum of two hours per week of high quality physical education and school sport. [HL1871]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyThe public service agreement target relates to the percentage of school children in England who spend a minimum of two hours each week of high quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum, not to delivery of the entitlement by individual schools.
§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the public sector agreement target to deliver schoolchildren a minimum of two hours per week of high quality physical education and school sport means at least two hours of physical exertion per week or whether the two hours includes class work in which physical education is studied. [HL1873]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyA large proportion of the two hours should be spent on physical activity. However, to ensure high quality, some time should be spent on learning the skills and tactics (including 71WA lifestyle management) that underpin sports development. Ultimately, the outputs for schoolchildren are more important than prescribing their content.
