<p>This government is committed to promoting physical activity among young people
and we want all pupils to be healthy and active. PE remains a compulsory subject at
all four key stages in the national curriculum, and this sets out the expectation
that pupils should be physically active for sustained periods of time. Schools have
the flexibility to use the primary PE and sport premium, worth £160m this year, to
improve the quality of the physical activity offer to their pupils. From 2017 we are
doubling the primary PE and sport premium to £320m a year, and the forthcoming childhood
obesity strategy will contain a number of measures which will complement our existing
policies to promote physical activity for primary pupils.</p>
