PE Life Skills Award

PE teaches valuable life skills such as resilience, collaboration, and independence – all of which can inspire and empower young people to excel in all areas of their lives.  The PE Life Skills Award recognises and rewards learners as they develop these essential life skills through the PE curriculum.

Developed in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust, the PE Life Skills Award encourages learners to reflect on their learning in PE and develop positive emotional, cognitive, physical and social behaviours.

To purchase the award, simply complete the form at the foot of this page.

Now in its fourth year, this award lets teachers recognise learners’ learning through assessments in the PE curriculum. It helps students value PE and develop a positive relationship with physical activity for the future.

The resources for the award provide schools with a framework and the tools to support delivery to students and rewards learners with a certificate at the end of the award.

The PE Life Skills Award is available to both primary and secondary schools and also works well in alternative provision schools. Our case study on ALP Nuneaton gives a great insight into the adaptability of the award in a specialist setting and can be read here
