	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>We want all pupils to be healthy and active, which is why Physical Education remains a compulsory subject at all four key stages in the national curriculum. The curriculum is designed to ensure that all pupils develop the competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities, engage in competitive sports and are physically active for sustained periods of time.</p><p> </p><p>Academies and free schools are not required to follow the national curriculum but must provide a broad and balanced curriculum.
