The meaning and definition of physical education are different from those of sport and general physical activity, but can often be confused with both.
Physical Education is a planned, progressive learning for all children that takes place within the school curriculum. It involves both ‘learning to move’ (becoming physically competent) and ‘moving to learn’ (e.g., learning wider skills and competencies such as communication with others). The context for the learning is physical activity, with pupils experiencing a wide range of activities, including sports, dance, and outdoor and adventurous activities.
