The leading EdTech trade show in the UK is back and we'll be there! Bett 2022 is a free event that is taking place from 23rd to 25th March 2022 at London Excel. Each day in the run up to #BETT2022 we will be showcasing one of our products that you can find out more about at the show. Today we take a look at PE and Wellbeing app Striver.

Striver was created to improve primary aged pupils long-term physical and mental wellbeing; it's a complete PE scheme of work that not only focuses on the physical health of pupils but also their mental health with dedicated wellbeing units. It has been built around the realities of modern teaching and uses technology to allow teachers to do more in less time.

The United Nations International Day of Yoga is held annually on the 21st June, to tie in with the Summer Solstice.

With summer on the horizon, it is never too early to start looking forward to a Summer of Sport. Exciting events such as The Olympics and the UEFA Euro's are fast approaching and to celebrate, we've got a #SummerOfSport competition and a host of activities and resources to share with you.

Ofsted have recently released their new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) with several changes that replace the current Common Inspection Framework (CIF). Concerns were raised that the curriculum became second place to performance measures and preparation for tests, meaning many, especially in disadvantaged and SEND schools, were not getting access to a rich, broad and deep curriculum. The new framework includes 4 key judgements; the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management. One thing we know several teachers are worried about is the Ofsted Deep Dive.

Striver is the only digital platform that puts PE and wellbeing in one place. Created with a sole purpose: To improve primary aged pupils long-term physical and mental wellbeing. The best way for us to achieve this is by ensuring that children are motivated, engaged and confident.
