Should children wear plimsolls / trainers when doing PE?
Shoes should always be worn when moving to and from the hall. If you are teaching gymnastics or dance, it is preferable that this is performed with bare feet. Make sure that the hall floor is free of debris e.g. after lunch. This allows children to stretch and point their toes and to see what good body tension and control looks like. If you are teaching games inside, it is preferable to wear shoes as this can prevent painful stubbed toe injuries.
