In the context of physical education, cultural capital refers to the knowledge, skills, and experiences that children bring to their learning and understanding of P.E. It includes the cultural experiences, such as visiting sporting venues, exposure to different P.E. forms, and being surrounded by physical activity in their daily lives.

Cultural capital is an important aspect of physical education at St Robert Bellarmine because it can help to broaden children's horizons and enhance their creativity. Children who have more cultural capital are more likely to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of P.E., which can motivate them to pursue physical education as a subject, as an activity, or as a career in the future.

We aim to develop cultural capital in our students by providing a range of experiences and opportunities to learn about P.E., such as trips to sporting venues, visiting sportspeople/coaches, participation in competitions and exploring different types of P.E. and sportspeople. We also promote cultural capital in P.E. by learning about eminent sportspeople from the past and present.   

Overall, developing cultural capital in P.E. is important for providing children with the skills and experiences they need to become informed, creative, and culturally aware individuals.
