What the petition asks
Most primary schools are funded around £9000 per year as a sports premium. From my experience I believe this should be increased and the funding should include the cost of a fully qualified PE teacher to teach curriculum PE in all primary schools.
The benefits of this include; All pupils having a great start in physical education from the age of 4, raise the quality and amount of competitive sport in primary schools, be on par with private school education.
