Extra funding designed to boost sport in primary schools could be used to tackle childhood obesity, says Ofsted.
The watchdog looked at how 22 schools, identified as having good PE provision, were spending the government's Primary PE and Sport Premium.
The £150m-a-year fund was introduced in all England's primary schools last year to build on the 2012 Olympics legacy.
Overall, the inspectors said schools were making good use of the money and pupils' PE skills were improving.
Many were using the cash to employ sports coaches or specialist teachers, improve training to teachers and extend the range of sports on offer, says the report.
