Rejected petition Include the word ‘Kick’ in the Physical Education [P.E] curriculum

It is brought on behalf of Billiemonroe who is an 8 years old Club Academy player who is habitually the only female playing football amongst male, age equivalent peers.
More details
Women’s football, at Club level, nationally & internationally continues to grow exponentially-the pinnacle being their defence of the Euros 22 title this year; breaking the attendance record for a women’s Final to become the first national team, of the Men’s & Women’s game, to win overseas. However, the opportunity for girls to play football at school continues to be stagnant. A shift in government policy is needed to change the perception & culture of the next generation’s female players.
