    Gym halls across the Capital will be upgraded thanks to the £243,000 spend, as education chiefs refused to rule out taking on more PE teachers, after the “corner turning” statistics revealed Edinburgh is ahead of a Scotland-wide trend on the uptake of physical education.

    The boom in PE will help stave off a feared obesity and diabetes epidemic and has been hailed by retiring boxing champ Alex Arthur, who said the cash will help “play a massive part in dealing with the general health of kids”.

    Would be good if they could make sure all children do Bikeability - and encourage cycling to school more.
