High Quality Health and Physical Education
Providing high-quality HPE in an innovative, student centred and holistic way sounds great in theory but putting it into practice can be more demanding in the face of a packed school curriculum and protests that “we’ve always done it this way”. Recognising these challenges, Health and Physical Education for All gives you a great place to start and plenty of motivation to keep on the path to an engaging and inclusive programme in, through and about movement.
