Ofsted’s thematic review and subsequent report – Obesity, Healthy Eating and Physical Activity in Primary Schools (July 2018) – was undertaken as as result of the government’s action plan Childhood Obesity: A plan for action, itself published in 2016.
Ofsted’s report recognises the threat that childhood obesity poses to the health of the nation and acknowledges the complex range of factors that cause it.
