The Government has this week published the annual survey results for PE and Sport. Across the 52 schools in the Greenacre School Sport Partnership an average of 81% of our young people aged 5-16 spend at least 2 hours on high quality PE and School Sport within school hours. We've still got work to do to ensure that EVERY young person gets to take part in 2 hours but we're on the right track with a 10% increase from last year.
