Daily roundup: Troubled families, physical education and Labour policy

Three quarters of families "turned around" under the government's Troubled Families programme are still struggling to overcome problems, according to data obtained by Labour. Data from 133 councils out of the 152 participating in the scheme found that almost one in seven families that had been "turned around" were either still on drugs, had children missing from school or involved in criminal acts. Another 60 per cent of households deemed to have been successfully helped in March still had adults on unemployment benefits after leaving the programme, the Observer reports.

Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw will raise concerns about the poor standard of physical education in many state schools in a speech this week. Wilshaw will say the best schools use competition to build self-esteem, confidence, a strong ethos and academic excellence, but too many schools allow pupils to opt out. The Telegraph reports that he will call on the government to do more to ensure competitive sport thrives in the state sector.
