Sue Wilkinson MBE, afPE’s CEO said:
“afPE is pleased that the guidance highlights the role of Ofsted under the new inspection framework and how important it is for schools to be compliant in their use of the funding. It is critical that children and young people benefit in the best way possible to improve their physical and emotional well-being.
