Conclusion
Embedding physical activity throughout the school week to improve children’s health, wellbeing, and educational attainment ultimately depends on the expertise of the nation’s teachers. While we welcome schools working with local clubs and organisations, it remains essential that qualified teachers play a central role, as they understand the diverse needs of every child in the class—not just the rules or techniques of a particular sport. Investing in better‑trained teachers is essential to improving children’s lifelong relationship with physical activity. (Conclusion, Paragraph 79)
