Abstract: Background/Objectives: Physiotherapy is a clinical discipline that provides services in healthcare centres, the community, at home, and in school. School Physiotherapy (SP) focuses its practice on children with disabilities or special motor needs during the school period. SP addresses psychomotricity, ergonomics, and posturology issues in order to improve health and academic performance. The objective of this study was to identify qualitative evidence on the experience and opinions of physiotherapists, children, parents, and teachers about school-based physiotherapy-led interventions. Methods: Metasynthesis of qualitative studies. The search included articles published between 2015 and 2025 on the PubMed, WOS, SCOPUS, and CINAHL databases. Results: The review included 15 selected studies. Three main themes emerged from this analysis: (1) Clinical and school physiotherapy: separated by a fine line. (2) Ensuring healthcare for children with specific conditions in schools. (3) The challenge of incorporating SP in educational settings. Conclusions: Physiotherapists, children, parents, and teachers perceive significant advantages in implementing SP in educational settings. Participants advocate for the development of collaborative goals and the inclusion of physiotherapists within educational teams. Understanding the experiences of physiotherapists, children, parents, and teachers may help improve SP in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
