Caveats

Small local sample (weighted denominator about 855 children); treat year-to-year wobbles with caution.
Sport England flags some year comparisons as uncertain when methods or samples change.
Higher means more children active.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
