The Association for Physical Education (afPE), the only physical education subject association in the UK, has launched its 'Physical Education Declaration'. The Declaration is intended to be a 'simple and but powerful message everyone could commit to and promote'.

As one of the national partners on initiatives such as the Primary PE and Sport Premium and the review of GCSE and A level qualifications, afPE believes that collaboration will achieve the best outcomes for young people and is asking stakeholders to support the declaration.

As an organisation they want to ensure that there is a simple but powerful message everyone could commit to and promote. Which is why they have developed the 'Physical Education Declaration'.

The declaration puts forward the key benefits to high-quality school sport and PE and sets out four asks to HELP ensure every child has the opportunity to benefit from it:

• Health and emotional well-being of all young people are improved.
• Education is an entitlement and therefore the impact of physical education across the curriculum should be valued and recognised.
• Leadership by all head teachers, governors, subject leaders and heads of departments promotes and celebrates the value of physical education, physical activity and school sport.
• Physical education is 'Powerful Education' and that you support and recognise the impact it has on whole school development, making a real dierence to the lives of young people and preparing them for an ever changing world.
