Implication

Qualitative case study uncovers tensions between religious freedom and physical education among Muslim pupils, highlighting the need for intersectional and embodied faith frameworks.

Key Points

To investigate the tensions between religious freedom and educational practices contributing to the withdrawal of Muslim girls from physical education.
Conducted 8 multi-school case studies in England involving interviews with 19 teachers and headteachers across primary, secondary, and Muslim state schools.
Held focus groups with 109 pupils, 32 parents, and 36 community youth, alongside distributing questionnaires to 402 city schools and 12 community providers (50 returned).
Engaged in stakeholder consultations with national bodies, including the Muslim Council of Britain and the National Subject Association for Physical Education.
Identified four core problem areas: bridging research and educational practice, understanding embodied faith, addressing contextual school factors, and applying intersectional frameworks.
Demonstrated that theoretical constructs of embodied faith and interdisciplinary approaches are necessary to guide inclusive physical education policy and support social justice in diverse societies.
