More children active, with the evidence to show for it

A completely free, whole-school skipping league that gets every class moving and gives pupils something to aim for. It also produces the evidence you need, without adding to your staff's workload.

  • “The PE premium is ending.”Completely free, for ever. Nothing to budget for, now or after 2027.
  • “Ofsted will ask about personal development and inclusion.”Printable participation by year group, girls and boys, and least-active pupils.
  • “My staff have no spare time.”Thirty seconds a child and one rope. Young Leaders can run it.

Every pupil countsA class is scored on the average of its best 80%, so every child matters and small classes compete fairly with big ones.
Evidence ready to printA School Games Mark report shows the share of your roll taking part, girls and boys, least-active pupils and every competition with its purpose. School progress shows how many pupils are at the expected standard for their year group.
Something to celebrateCertificates for the fastest, the most improved and the most active skippers every half term, plus a School Cup and champion certificates for assembly.
Families involvedTake-home cards carry a QR code to a private page where families can see their child's progress.
Careful with pupil dataOnly first names and a surname letter or two are kept. Names are never shown publicly, and the data is hosted in the UK.
Almost no staff timeA 30-second skip in PE or at playtime. Young Leaders can run the timer and send the scores in.
