Parents often feel berated about couch potato kids, especially since Scottish children were rated among the least active in the world.

.

But pupils in the Capital are bucking the trend thanks to high schools making big leaps forward in delivering national targets for games lessons.

.

All but one of the citys secondary schools met a Scottish Government commitment that every S1-4 pupil will benefit from at least two periods of quality PE each week a 13 per cent jump on last year.

.

At primary school level where teachers are tasked with offering two hours of PE a week the success rate has climbed from 89 to 95 per cent. As worries grow over exercise levels in the wake of research showing Scots youngsters are among the worlds least active, the boom has been welcomed as evidence that a corner is being turned in Edinburgh.

.

Councillor Paul Godzik, education leader, said: Im delighted that our primary, secondary and special schools are achieving their best ever figures for PE.

.

Theres been a clear focus on these targets in our schools, and staff have been working really hard to improve our figures.

.

The data also indicates about four primaries and one high school Portobello are not making the grade, as teaching staff said the age of some school buildings makes challenges tough to overcome.

.

Kevin Brown, one of two lead officers for the PE roll-out, said much of the city-wide increase was due to headteachers willingness to ensure pupils do not lose out.

.

He said: Secondary schools are heavily reliant on the time-tabling of subjects. Headteachers taking the target into account is something that has raised the figures to where they are now.
