Safety is a central issue in the primary school, and nowhere more so than in the context of the PE lesson. This important new handbook offers guidance and advice for primary school teachers on every aspect of physical education, from the school's legal responsibilities and the formulation of a safe practice policy, to specific guidelines for safe teaching in each of the six main PE activities. Safety and Risk in Primary School Physical Education is curriculum-specific, following key stages 1 and 2 (including foundation level), and offers good practice guidelines on policy, practice, planning and assessment. Well supported with illustrations and figures, the book also provides a range of photocopiable checklists and worksheets to help the non specialist teacher prepare safe and effective lessons. This book is a 'must-have' for every primary school.
