There are no official figures for the number of food banks or for people who have made use of them. The provision of food aid ranges from small, local provision, through to regional and national schemes. The greatest proportion is community-led provision responding to local needs. As such, the Government do not believe it is possible to keep records of the number of food banks or how many people made use of them.<\/p>

The conditions of the funding are clear; it must be spent on improving the provision of Physical Education (PE) and sport for the benefit of pupils so that they develop healthy lifestyles. All schools must abide by the conditions of the funding. Schools should publish on their website: the amount of grant received, how it has been spent (or will be spent) and what impact the school has seen on pupils\u2019 PE and sport participation and attainment as a result.<\/p>
<\/p>
Schools are held accountable for how they spend their funding through Ofsted whole-school inspections. Ofsted have strengthened the coverage of PE and sport in their Inspection Handbook. Inspectors assess and report on how effectively the funding is being used to improve PE and sport provision when making a judgement on the quality of the school\u2019s leadership and management.<\/p>

There are no plans to ask Ofsted to collect this information. Ofsted inspections report on the effectiveness of teaching and the quality of schools\u2019 leadership and management.<\/p>

Swimming is part of the national curriculum, and all pupils must be taught to swim at least 25 metres unaided and be able to use recognised swimming strokes by the end of key stage 2 (age 11). It remains compulsory in the national curriculum following the curriculum review.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has committed over £450 million of ring-fenced funding up to and including 2015/16 for primary schools to improve their provision of Physical Education and sport. Schools have the freedom to use the funding for additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements.<\/p>

The Department for Education is working across Government and with external partners to support schools to spend the money effectively and sustainably, to improve the quality of Physical Education (PE) and sport provision. There are a number of case studies of best practice which can be found online:<\/p>
