The final problem is that of inconsistent provision. Teacher training and support for PE varies widely across different schools, reflecting different priorities, teacher expertise and available funding. Despite targeted funding, such as the PE and sport premium, financial limitations and high workloads often mean that resources are not used efficiently to develop teacher skills. Funding is sometimes spent on external coaches instead of upskilling permanent staff. It is for these reasons that I support the amendments of my noble friend Lord Holmes of Richmond, which of course cover additional subjects.
