“Data from 2026 showed a higher proportion of Year 1 children with excess weight and a lower proportion of Year 5 children with excess weight, compared to last year. However, the long-term trend - correcting for year-to-year variations - shows that the level of excess weight is rising in Year 1 and stable in Year 5.”
