<p>We know that active people are fitter, happier and healthier - which is why in
our new Sport Strategy - 'Get Active’ - we set out an ambitious strategy to boost
our national health by getting 3.5 million extra active people by 2030. This includes
bold targets to reach communities with the lowest levels of physical activity.</p><p>As
part of this strategy, we have set up a new National Physical Activity Taskforce to
ensure we meet these targets, and will work closely with Sport England to track and
measure the impact of our interventions. This will include measuring the progress
made in tackling inactivity annually through the Active Lives Children survey, and
in real time by seeking new sources of data that allow us to monitor progress.</p><p>Schools
play a key role in allowing all children to have high quality opportunities to take
part in PE and sport. In July we published an update to the School Sport and Activity
Action Plan. This builds on the announcement we made in March that set out new ambitions
for equal access to PE and sport and guidance on how to deliver 2 hours of quality
PE a week, alongside over £600 million funding for the Primary PE and Sport Premium
and the School Games Organiser network.</p><p>The Department for Education will be
introducing a new digital tool to support schools with their reporting requirements
for their PE and sport premium spend. This will hold schools accountable for how they
use their PE and sport premium funding allocation to measure and improve the quality
of PE and sport they provide.</p>
