Caveats

  • Small local sample (weighted denominator about 565 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.
