“I truly hope this book helps you on your journey
I worked with a small group of early access customers to make sure all of the content in the book was exactly what they needed. Here's what they had to say about the finished product.
Emma's book has been extremely useful for me as a reminder of how to teach PE effectively. I have been teaching for 10 years and this guide has reminded me of so many techniques and strategies that I have lost or forgotten about over the years. PE can be a difficult subject to teach, and this handy book has given me the knowledge, skills and confidence I needed to reinvigorate my PE teaching and passion for the subject! Thank you, Emma!
Emma has written an easy to read, practical and accessible guide to teaching Primary PE, firmly rooted in the real world and answering many of the queries and concerns raised by teachers early in their careers. Her passion for ensuring that all pupils can access high quality PE in school is matched by her determination to support teachers in having the confidence to deliver, no matter what their own background in sport. A worthwhile addition to school CPD libraries or gift for the early career teacher in your life!
I'm a PE teacher supporting primary school PE and this book is like a breath of fresh air. There can be so much to think about when delivering PE lessons from a scheme of work that the basics get overlooked. This book breaks everything down clearly so that, all of a sudden, delivering a great PE lesson feels manageable! Thank you!

It's such a great way to share your expertise and understanding of the challenges (alongside the huge benefits) of teaching Primary PE as an ECT. You come across as kind and supportive, offering different pieces of advice that are also relevant to the things a new teacher may face.

The book is incredible. The parts about planning lessons and class control is vital and I'm glad that part is near the front. It looks like a great book you can pick up, jump to the chapter you need support with and carry on teaching which is excellent! It would have been the perfect guide to have when I was first starting out so I know it will help others. Well done!

A really great book and PE tool. Just reading it made me feel more confident about teaching it. I wish I had this book when I started teaching.

Emma Seymour After 25 years of teaching PE, and every day is still a learning day.
I love seeing the pure happiness of activity on the children’s faces when they are playing a game, or the focus and concentration to master a new skill or the communication required to encourage their team to do better. The feeling of giving them that joy is wonderful. Over the years I have enjoyed various roles as a School Sport Partnership Development Manager, School Sport Coordinator, and held various positions of responsibility at different schools, Secondary and Primary. I lived in New York for a year working at the Women's Sports Foundation and have volunteer coached junior hockey for many years and even try to keep playing myself.
Through this journey I discovered that I could help more children by helping their teachers feel more confident to teach PE, so now I am a Specialist Primary PE teacher, training primary teachers and also delivering PE to a local primary school.
My love for the subject has grown over the years, the wider benefits it holds to the child and the ability to give the powerful message of a lifelong love of physical activity, I see as a great gift for life.
Ultimately PE is fun and always should be, for everyone.
