Ideas to explore

  • Explain how regular, enjoyable PE can help children build activity habits that may continue beyond school.
  • Show why PE alone has limits: food choices and time spent in sedentary activities also shape children’s routines.
  • Suggest a combined response: inclusive school activities, practical food education and support for exercise outside school.

Suggested structure

  1. Introduce the issue and give a qualified position: agree that PE helps, but not that it is sufficient alone.
  2. Develop the benefits of PE, linking regular participation to fitness, skills and habit formation.
  3. Explain the limitations of relying only on PE, using diet and non-school activity as relevant factors.
  4. Offer complementary actions that respond to those limitations.
  5. Conclude by restating the qualified position and summarising why a broader approach is preferable.
