Asked by: Mochan, Carol (Scottish Labour - South Scotland)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many primary schools have physical education teachers based within them, broken down by local authority.

Answered by Gilruth, Jenny - Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills

Primary Teachers are generalists; therefore, they deliver the totality of the Curriculum including PE. Specialist PE teachers are predominantly based in secondary schools.

The table shows the number of Primary schools in each authority with teachers listing Physical Education as their main subject. Head teachers are not included.

Individual teachers may have posts in more than one school. Note that in some local authorities physical education teachers that serve more than one school are recorded as centrally employed rather than allocated to individual schools. Teachers recorded in this way do not appear in the following table.

Primary schools with teachers in post with Physical Education as their main subject taught 2023 - Excludes head teachers.
