# Welcome to Physical Education

### Why learn Physical Education?

Every lesson within PE has the obvious specific sports related skills which are developed. However, less explicitly, key employability skills are established and improved upon – teamwork, creativity, resilience, motivation, leadership, communication and organisational skills to name just some of the personal skills developed within each and every unit delivered.
