The Government has no plans to assess the impact of any changes in the length of school break times. Schools have the autonomy to make decisions about the structure and duration of their school day to suit their own circumstances. However, the Department is clear that pupils should be given an appropriate break and expects school leaders to make sure this happens.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of physical activity in schools to improve physical and mental wellbeing and support attainment. The Department\u2019s childhood obesity strategy reflects the Chief Medical Officer\u2019s guidelines that primary age children should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a day and the aim that 30 minutes of that should be during the school day.<\/p>
