At a glance headlines: June 26, 2014

A country-wide school sports survey, new mental health guidance, the return of the DfE Exams Helpline and a College of Teaching update are among the SecEd At a glance headlines for June 26, 2014.

Schools are being asked to complete a survey into the quality and provision of PE and school sport. It is being run by the Youth Sport Trust with the aim of identifying levels of provision across the country. The charity says that since 2010 there has been no national survey of school sport, meaning there is a “lack of intelligence” around the activity levels of pupils, participation rates and other trends. John Steele, chief executive of the Youth Sport Trust, said: “We have significant concerns that the level of provision across the country is not consistent, which could be resulting in a postcode lottery of provision. Our survey will investigate this as it risks leaving some young people without the high-quality experience they deserve.” All schools will be sent a link to complete the survey this week.
