Throughout the academic year, we receive feedback from centres delivering awards to let us know how things are going, which aspects are working well and any elements where there is room for improvement.
Below are some examples of the feedback we receive with the award they have delivered stated in brackets.
What has worked well with your award(s) delivery?
Creating a group of girls interested in leading and learning together. (Your Time)
Creating a workforce in secondary schools to support Yr. 6 transition events and support of “in school” activities and further school games activities. Links with secondary schools within the SGO area. (Young Leader)
The Play Maker journal was particularly useful as I used this along side the delivery of the award. It was helpful for the children to track and monitor their progress, helping them take ownership of their learning and personal journey. (PlayMaker)
Students have really enjoyed practical opportunities to lead at Primary Festivals and sports Days Students have played a really important role in supporting PE Faculty in PE events at school including school Sports Day, Inter House events etc (Activity Volunteer Programme)
The delivery for the PlayMaker award went smoothly and to plan as expected – it was great to see how young people were able to utilise & develop their leadership skills. (PlayMaker)

Impact comments
All of our students have not attended any educational setting for a long time (sometimes 3-5 years). Our students have to re-engage with education and also PE (which may have had negative connotations for them in mainstream school), our students have embraced the opportunity to get more active and to enjoy being physically active – which many of them haven’t done for a very long time. (PE Life Skills Award)
I feel it has had an impact on behaviour in PE as pupils are more aware of how positive behaviour can help make them and others be more successful during a lesson. (PE Life Skills Award)
They have recognised how their behaviour and attitude can affect the relationships within their group or their team. Parents have been fully supportive and were invited into school to watch their children in action delivering an activity session that they planned. This raised the profile of the course and really motivated the children to be the best they can be. (PlayMaker)
Many young people are not given an opportunity to lead. Once they overcome the initial fear, they often thrive in this role and wish to continue to deliver activities even after they have completed the programme. (Young Leader)
Pupils have become more independent within their lessons. Answering questions more freely and becoming a better team player within their physical activities. (PE Life Skills Award)
It had promoted positive behaviour – can’t be a play leader if your own behaviour isn’t setting a good example. When something isn’t working in the first instance, children have built up more resilience to problem solve. Having the opportunity to be a leader has supported mental health also. (PlayMaker)
Learners have come out of their shell and worked together to achieve the aims as a group. They have created a comfortable environment where they feel safe to express themselves.
