8. Links to the Whole Curriculum

Physical Education contributes to wider educational outcomes.

QPE strengthens connections between physical activity and learning across the curriculum, reinforcing knowledge, skills and values developed in other subjects.

Cross-curricular approaches can enrich learning and demonstrate the relevance of movement within broader educational experiences, related to healthy active lives (Lynott et al., 2022).

In practice

• Links are made to health education.
• Numeracy and literacy opportunities are utilised.
• Environmental learning is integrated.
• Citizenship and wellbeing are reinforced.
