  "text": "On page 1, in the passage headed “Access”, for the words:\n“The programme of study for each key stage should be taught to the great majority of pupils in the key stage, in ways appropriate to their abilities.”\nthere shall be substituted\n“Schools are required to provide a balanced and broadly-based curriculum, which must include the National Curriculum foundation subject of physical education. In planning their physical education curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2, schools should have regard to the Programme of Study set out below, and to the desirability of allowing pupils to follow it, in ways appropriate to their abilities. In so doing, schools should give appropriate weight to any prior need to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of pupils and any necessary adjustments to the Programme of Study should be made to allow this. Such adjustments should not, however, be made in respect of Area of Activity 6 (swimming) which should continue to be taught at Key Stage 2 and which should continue to be an optional addition at Key Stage 1.\nThe Programme of Study for Key Stages 3 and 4 should be taught to the great majority of pupils in those Key Stages, in ways appropriate to their abilities.”",
