Under the Umbrella with Natalie Jackson

Welcome to episode 205 of The PE Umbrella Podcast! This week I am joined by the director and founder of Totally Runable Natalie Jackson. Totally Runable use the power of running to help close the sport gender gap across schools in the UK and have a fascinating story to tell. During this episode, I speak with Natalie about some stark figures when it comes to boys and girls participation in sport and physical activity. We learn more about the sport gender gap and factors that play into this widening or narrowing. This was a truly insightful discussion and I am certain that it will leave you with more questions and strategies that you can take away to try in your own school setting. So what are you waiting for? Jump under the umbrella with us and join in the conversation by tweeting me @thepeumbrella. Note pad ready!
