I'm proud to be supporting this year's National School Sports Week 2025.

This year marks 30 years of the Youth Sport Trust—three decades of championing PE, sport, and play to build brighter futures for young people.

From 16-22 June, they’re inviting schools, families, organisations, and communities across the UK to come together for their biggest-ever National School Sports Week. Their mission is to embed an Always Active culture—ensuring that every child moves for at least 60 minutes a day (20 minutes for young people with SEND) through sport, play, and movement.

Together, let’s make National School Sports Week 2025 the most active, inclusive, and inspiring yet!

Template Press Release:

Below is a draft press release you can use locally to highlight your support for National School Sports Week.

 [Insert Name] MP backs National School Sport Week 2025

[Insert Name] MP, Member of Parliament for [insert constituency] is backing a national campaign to promote the power of PE, sport and play in building brighter futures and happier, healthier young people across the UK.

National School Sports Week, a week-long initiative led by the Youth Sport Trust, a national children’s charity, brings together schools, national governing bodies of sport, families and communities to encourage young people across the UK to get active at school.

[Insert name] MP is lending their support in Parliament and across [insert constituency] including by urging schools and families to sign up to the campaign. Registrants will receive daily movement challenges and support to help schools deliver high-impact sports weeks, as well as being in with the chance of winning prizes including visits from Youth Sport Trust Athlete Mentors.

Taking place from Monday 16 – Saturday 22 June 2025, this year National School Sports Week will include the UK’s biggest-ever sports day, bringing together thousands of schools across the country on the week’s penultimate day to celebrate movement, sport and the joy of being active.

The week comes at a time when less than half (48%) of children are active for 60 minutes a day as recommended by the UK’s Chief Medical Officers, with low activity levels having a negative impact on children’s physical, mental and social wellbeing.

[Insert name] MP said:

“National School Sports Week helps reinforce why PE, sport and play in schools is so important to this generation of children. Being active during the school day helps young people improve their wellbeing, develop new skills and make friends setting them up for success in school and throughout life. I’m proud to support National School Sports Week and know schools and parents across [constituency] will be joining in too.”

Ali Oliver MBE, Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust said, 

“National School Sports Week plays a vital role in our mission to ensure every child has access to sport and physical activity, as well as promoting the holistic benefits of PE, sport and play. With fewer than half of young people in the UK currently meeting the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity, it is imperative schools, families and organisations work together to tackle this current health crisis, and we are grateful to all partners involved for helping us make this year’s National School Sports Week even bigger and more impactful than ever.”
