The consultation closes on Friday 2 October and can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-strategy-for-sport-consultation" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-strategy-for-sport-consultation</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In January 2015, the Department for Education published revised content for PE GCSEs and A levels.

The new qualifications will be taught from 2016.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Over 4,000 secondary schools across the country are taking part in the Sainsbury’s School Games - the government’s framework for competitive sport. Over three quarters of children aged 11-15 years old (77.6%) played sport against other people in PE or games lessons. Half (49.8%) played sport in their school in organised competitions. There are currently 6,890 satellite clubs on education sites. These are community sports clubs based predominantly on school or college sites which provide new opportunities for young people. They aim to increase participation as students progress through education. Young people aged over 11 can also take part in Sportivate which offers six to eight weeks of free or subsidised coaching in a range of sports.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>The government is providing primary schools with over £150 million per year of ring-fenced funding, paid directly to head teachers to improve PE and sport. The funding goes directly to primary schools to improve PE and sport. We published a research brief in September 2014 about how schools used the primary PE and sport premium and the impact of the fund on PE and sports provision. The findings from this independent research show that the mean amount of time spent on curricular PE in primary schools increased by 13 minutes from 109 to 122 minutes a week from 2012/13 to 2013/14. The full report will be published later in 2015.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 09/09/2015 16:30:58 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
