The diet of compulsory team games has remained largely unchanged in British schools for more than one hundred years. The emergence of lavish new indoor facilities in schools has done little to alter this state of affairs. This new seminar encourages teachers to examine the games experiences they provide for their pupils and to challenge the assumptions on which they are based. It aims to stimulate programme managers to ensure that their provision is based on sound thinking and educational philosophy, and that it meets the contemporary aspirations and requirements of twenty first century pupils and parents.

This course is suitable for teachers in single sex and co-educational schools.
