I understand that. However, more than ever before, PE, apart from being part of the curriculum, is very much part and parcel of the daily life of schools. It is a problem if a large primary school or very large secondary school does not have the provision to enable students to take part in PE inside when there is bad weather. This is a policy matter and it requires the Government to make a change to ensure the provision of PE halls and playing pitches is a real priority, particularly for new school builds. There is no use in just talking about the health, well-being and fitness of students. We must not only talk the talk but also walk the walk by ensuring the provision is delivered.
