Require schools to do two hours of PE a week

What the petition asks
We want the Government to require schools to do two hours of PE each week. PE helps students to stay physically healthy and benefits mental health.
The Department for Education's school sport and activity action plan says that the Government is encouraging all schools to deliver a minimum of 2 hours’ PE time every week. I'm aware of some schools slashing pupil's weekly PE allocation to 1 hour a week, without consulting parents.
