Overview

Figurational analysis reveals gendered expectations in extra-curricular sports, highlighting peer dynamics. Attendance trends shift with age, impacting teacher–pupil relations.

Key Points

  • Gendered norms influence the provision and engagement in extra-curricular sport activities.
  • Amidst no engagement differences, traditional views on gender appropriateness prevail in PE practices.
  • As pupils age, participation in lunch and afterschool sports declines while inter-school fixtures increase.
  • Informal teacher–pupil relations may result in perceptions of favouritism, affecting power dynamics among students.
