Life skills through PE
The PE Life Skills Award develops and celebrates character, confidence and transferable skills in every PE lesson.
Key partner
We work with Leadership Skills Foundation
Lead the session. Grow life skills through PE.
We deliver Sports Leaders awards and the Youth Sport Trust PE Life Skills Award (accredited through Leadership Skills Foundation). Young people practise leadership, resilience, collaboration and self-belief through sport and PE, with Ismail leading KS4 Sports Performance and Leadership.
Purpose
Why these programmes matter
Leadership Skills Foundation programmes help young people practise leadership, communication and responsibility through sport and physical activity.
The PE Life Skills Award, from the Youth Sport Trust and accredited via Leadership Skills Foundation, recognises life skills developed through PE: resilience, collaboration, self-belief and problem-solving. Sports Leaders Levels 1 and 2 take that further into leading sessions and supporting others.
At Evolution
How we deliver them at Evolution Education
Ismail, our Sport and Vocational Teacher, leads Sports Performance and Leadership on the sports pathway. PE Life Skills journals and assessment sit inside PE and sport sessions so personal growth is recognised, not left invisible.
Sports Leaders learners move from leadership foundations to session planning, coaching, safeguarding, live events and employability. Every half term ends in an applied task.
Progress is tracked in termly assessment windows and in each learner's personal plan, so leadership and life-skills awards sit beside English, mathematics and destination goals.
Benefits for students
What young people gain
Leadership they can practise
Sports Leaders young people lead parts of sessions and learn by doing, not only by listening.
Clear year pathway
Autumn builds the leader. Spring builds the coach and the professional. Summer builds the event leader and the next step.
