This book examines some of the most important issues in primary Physical Education today.

With teachers and schools facing a deluge of policy initiatives from government and professional associations, this book helps practitioners and students make sense of, and debate, the current landscape in primary Physical Education and to develop sound, evidence-based practice for each chapter topic. Each chapter explores an issue that is having a significant impact on the development of primary Physical Education, including hot topics such as decolonising Physical Education; Physical Education as a core subject in schools; establishing a pupil-led curriculum, and creating a whole school movement culture. Every chapter provides an overview of the issue, as well as a critical discussion of the significance of the issue, before reflecting on how that issue might affect teaching practice. This book also provides useful guides to further reading around each of the issues raised.

Written by two leading researchers in primary Physical Education, both of whom are experienced primary Physical Education teachers, this book is an essential read for any Physical Education student, trainee Physical Education teacher, or in-service teacher looking to extend their professional learning and practice.
