The Case for PE Becoming a Core Subject
afPE Honoured member, Professor Jo Harris has authored a paper on the case for physical education becoming a Core Subject in the National Curriculum.
 
This paper presents the case for physical education becoming a core subject within the National Curriculum in England alongside English, mathematics and science. 
 
Core subjects are generally considered to lay the foundation for learning in other subjects and, as a result, are generally advantaged in terms of their status, preparation for teaching, and their time and resource allocation in schools. As a consequence, key foundation subjects such as physical education tend to be marginalised and ‘squeezed’ in terms of time and resource. This has led to a narrowing of the curriculum.
