Report
'With the addition of clear links to the Teachers Standards at the start of each chapter, this second edition of Teaching Primary PE will be a particularly useful resource for QTS students developing their portfolio of evidence. The updated text also includes increased focus on physical literacy adding further depth to discussions and providing some clarity for students of primary PE enabling them to make better sense of this concept and its relationship with fundamental motor skills, physical development and the EYFS framework.'
