Striver - Government PE Non-Statutory Guidance

May 1, 2024

Meeting the new government PE guidance



In March, the Department for Education introduced non-statutory guidance on enhancing the provision of physical education and improving access to sport in school.

The guidance emphasizes the recommended minimum of 2 hours of PE per week and the importance of ensuring equality of access to PE and extra-curricular school sport and competition.
