	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>On 16 March, the Government announced its vision for reforming alternative provision (AP) in ‘Creating opportunity for all: Our vision for alternative provision’ (available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/creating-opportunity-for-all-our-vision-for-alternative-provision" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/creating-opportunity-for-all-our-vision-for-alternative-provision</a>). This sets out how the Government will reform AP to raise standards and improve outcomes for all children in AP, including Pupil Referral Units.</p><p> </p><p>Physical Education (PE) is compulsory at all four Key Stages in the National Curriculum. While this does not apply directly to AP, the Department’s statutory guidance advises that AP should enable pupils to ‘achieve good educational attainment on par with their mainstream peers’ and to study ‘appropriate accreditation and qualifications’.</p><p> </p><p>Through the primary PE and sport premium, the Government has provided over £600 million to primary schools, including primary pupil referral units, to be spent on the improvement of PE and sport. From September 2017 the Government doubled funding for the premium to £320 million a year. In 2018-19 the Department is providing schools with £100 million Healthy Pupils Capital Fund to support them to improve access to facilities for physical activity, healthy eating, mental health and wellbeing and medical conditions. Local authorities and large multi academy trusts can determine how to allocate this funding to best meet the needs of all pupils, including those pupils educated in pupil referral units they are directly responsible for.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/03/2018 16:32:57 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
