Physical Education in the Early Years

15 May 2026
The Inspiring Practice Stage 3-5s
This panel will explore how physical education in the early years is distinct from physical activity, exercise and physical development, yet works in partnership with each to support children’s learning and wellbeing. The discussion will focus on purposeful, developmentally appropriate approaches that build strong physical foundations through play.
