ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if PE were valued as highly as English or maths?
Rebecca Skinner (Active Devon), Caroline Storer (Plymouth City Council), and Marcus Pritchard (St Luke’s School / TED Wragg Multi-Academy Trust) share how they’re embedding physical literacy across schools and youth work in Plymouth and Devon. From rethinking PE’s purpose to empowering youth workers and inspiring confidence in young people, this episode explores how culture change happens—through shared learning, long-term commitment, and the belief that every child deserves to feel capable, confident, and included.
