The PE Graduate Award Scheme is your opportunity to deepen your knowledge and explore PE beyond the classroom.

In order to become a PE graduate, you will need to

  • Create a presentation or write an essay about one of the questions below
  • Plan and deliver a PE lesson to a class or small group
  • Take the online quiz

Presentation / Essay

Choose one of the questions below and create a presentation or written piece to explore it in detail.

You can present your answer in any way you like, but you must support your ideas with clear explanations and examples.

Your presentation should:

  • Explain key PE concepts clearly, using correct vocabulary and scientific diagrams

  • Describe how and why physical activity affects the body and mind

  • Use examples from PE lessons, sport, or everyday life to support your ideas

  • Show clear understanding of the importance of physical activity and skill development

You could present your work as:

  • A written piece (for example, a short essay — handwritten or typed)

  • A digital presentation (Keynote, PowerPoint, or Google Slides)

  • A video of you explaining your ideas clearly and confidently

Presentation question options:
  • What is Physical Education (PE) and why is exercise important?

  • Why are warm-ups, balance, and coordination important for developing skills?

  • How does PE help to develop the whole person (physical, mental, and social)?

  • What is the link between regular physical activity and good health?

  • How can PE be made more inclusive and positive for everyone, especially children who don't normally engage with PE?

  • How are team sports and individual sports different, and what are they good for?

Plan and deliver a PE lesson

You need to plan and deliver a PE lesson to a class or a small group. Your lesson must include:

  1. A warm-up – exercises to get the body ready for activity

  2. A skills activity – a focus on learning or improving a specific skill

  3. A game or activity – where players use the skill you practiced

  4. A cool-down – exercises to help the body recover

You can choose any area of PE you like, for example: football, gymnastics, dance, netball, athletics

What you need to do:

Step 1: Plan your lesson

  • Write a lesson plan that shows:

    • Your warm-up exercises and how they help prepare for the skill

    • Your skill activity and how it links to the game

    • Your cool-down exercises and why they help the body recover

  • Include timings for each part of your lesson

  • You can use diagrams or pictures to show what will happen

Step 2: Teach your lesson

  • Deliver your lesson to a class or small group (you can decide which)

  • Make sure it is safe, clear, and well-organised

  • Show that your warm-up prepares for the skill, the skill connects to the game, and your cool-down helps the players recover

  • Encourage everyone to take part and enjoy the lesson

Tips for a strong lesson:
  • Make sure your warm-up matches the skill you are practising

  • Include a variety of exercises to keep it fun and active

  • Think about space, equipment, and safety for all activities

  • Use PE vocabulary wherever you can (e.g., balance, coordination, agility, teamwork)

  • Keep your lesson clear, logical, and easy to follow
