Through this podcast series, Dan Hays and Paul Warner from Aspire Sports aim to discover the power behind PE School Sport and Physical Activity in primary schools, the impact this has on the whole school, the impact it has on pupil’s holistic development and the secrets behind the successful implementation of a powerful physical curriculum. This is what makes up The Primary PE Huddle. We won’t be alone through this journey – we are joined by PE subject leaders, school and academy senior leadership teams and experts in the field of primary education, who share what physical activity means to them, how they use it as a tool to positively impact children and young people and what they believe, in The Primary PE Huddle.
