What is Striver?
Striver has been created with a sole purpose: To improve primary aged pupils’ (5-11) long-term physical and mental wellbeing. We do that by ensuring children of all abilities feel motivated and engaged, and teachers of all experience levels feel confident and in control. It is the only PE scheme of work that includes health and wellbeing lessons. Over 250 PE lessons, supported by 6 wellbeing units, all housed in a web-platform that minimises the time required for admin, without cutting any corners.

There are elements of the scheme of learning that go beyond the national curriculum expectations (gymnastics) and this can be quite challenging for staff to deliver. The scheme on the whole is well structured and easy to follow with clear step by step instructions for staff as well as guidance on how to support and challenge pupils learning. The key questions give staff guidance on how to deepen children's thinking and the opportunity to apply new skills in each lesson shows that children are embedding their learning.
Sarah Tyson found Striver:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Gives ideas for how to deliver skills and allows the teacher to adapt the learning to meet the needs of the children. It provides resources and ideas to support and challenge”
- Slightly provides school data“We haven't implemented the assessment part of the scheme yet”
- Moderately improves teacher knowledge“We introduced this to support non-specialist teachers to deliver high quality lessons and use activities appropriate to deliver specific skills”
- Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“The lessons are engaging and well structured so children are focused for larger parts of thier learning. There are opportunities to challenge and support learning within each skill and opportunities to apply what they have learnt which leads to better learning behaviours.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Children are more aware of thier prior learning and how the skills are put together to build into game situations. The children use and share vocabulary appropriate to thier learning and are able to support each other to improve”

Striver is brilliant as it allows teachers to get on with the lesson and to not worry about preparation. It takes away that stress, puts more knowledge and fun into the p.e lessons and the children start to understand more as it is effective in many ways

We have found Striver to be an excellent resource for our PE curriculum and will be using it across the school next year. The people at Striver are very helpful and are always on hand should any problems occur. Can't wait to get it all started for real next academic year
