We want to hear about remarkable young individuals or teams who've pushed past their limits and broken down barriers to movement. For instance, perhaps you know:
- a student who's overcome a long-term injury or health challenge to take part in PE
- someone who's shown real leadership and empathy by helping others feel included, or
- a whole team who've worked together to create a more supportive, fun, and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy movement.
Whether it's a small moment of bravery or a big act of inclusion, we want to hear the stories that inspire and uplift.
Inspire the next movement heroes
Our classroom content offers a range of flexible sports, wellbeing and teamwork activities. Each lesson comes in a PSHE or PE version, so you can use it in class or on the go – or even at home, if you're a parent or home educator.
Very useful resources for PE teachers to integrate into their lessons with a tight alignment and reference to the National Curriculum PE programme of study.
