The government has said it will give a “huge boost” to school sports by advising that at least two hours of PE is done per week and offering an award to those providing equal access to girls and boys.
Ministers also confirmed extensions for other schemes, including an extra two years of primary PE and sport premium funding, worth £600 million, and £22 million for two more years of its school games organisers network.
A further £57 million will be used to keep school sports facilities open outside the normal school day.
Run by Active Partnerships, the scheme will reach 1,350 schools and target girls, disadvantaged children and those with SEND.
