Recommendation 31

We recommend that the Government require and support schools to deliver a broader and more inclusive PE curriculum that prioritises enjoyment, comfort and a welcoming environment for all pupils. Alongside a wider range of activities, we recommend that schools should offer supportive, age‑appropriate competition that helps children learn from both success and failure without making excellence the sole focus. High achievers should be encouraged to reach their potential, but schools should place equal value on progress from inactivity to participation, recognising this as a significant success in its own right. (Recommendation, Paragraph 93)
