This episode continues exploring the contested role and meanings of physical education. Can we claim that physical education is in crisis? Does it serve only few of the children while marginalising others? If this is the case, what would a more meaningful future look like?

I am delighted to explore these questions with Lee Sullivan. Lee is the Head of PE at Upton Court Grammar School. He is the author of Physical Education in Crisis?: Leading a Much-Needed Change in Physical Education and co-author of the Concept Curriculum. You can follow Lee on Twitter @Lee_Sullivan85.

Questions explored in this podcast include:

- What are the problems with traditional ways of delivering PE?

- Does sport (still) have some role in PE?

- How can we deliver meaningful competition in PE?
