This book explores how physical education (PE) can be best enacted in primary schools in order to optimise children's wellbeing. Drawing together extensive data from school communities around the globe, the author examines multiple dimensions of child health in practice. Ultimately, the findings suggest that PE is imperative within the wider landscape of children's holistic learning, offering a powerful platform for meaningful connections across learning areas. While quantitative research has long evidenced the benefits of physical activity, this book contributes to the complex and global issue of what effective health and wellbeing approaches look like in practice. It is natural for children to enjoy movement for the purposes of play, exploration, learning and development: this book is essential reading for educators looking to enhance children's wellbeing and general health.

Timothy Lynch is Assistant Headteacher at Hornbill School, Brunei and Adjunct Professor (Senior Assistant) in the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei. An experienced teacher, he is also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
