Health for life

Physical education (PE) is much more than success on the sports field. It develops competent, confident young people who understand the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. It also calls for teamwork, leadership and creative thinking. These skills enrich learning and life. This part of the QCA website has information on PE and school sport, as well as resources and support for teachers.
