PE and Wellbeing in one place
Striver has been created with a sole purpose: To improve primary aged students’ 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 400 PE lessons, supported by six wellbeing units, all housed in a clever website that makes planning and assessment a breeze.
Now more than ever it’s important that we look after children’s physical and mental health. The principle of Striver, is to empower all primary school teachers to deliver high-quality PE lessons across the curriculum. This takes on new importance in light of Covid-19 as it means children do not need to switch between members of staff for different elements of PE. Using Striver, every teacher in the school can provide engaging PE lessons for their bubble and easily submit assessment data using the app.
Striver also includes dedicated wellbeing lessons for each year group. You don’t need any specialist training to deliver impactful wellbeing sessions with Striver, simply follow our step-by-step lesson plans covering topics such as yoga, mindfulness and nutrition. The experience of lock-down and school closures will have been difficult for many children, so if you’re looking for ways to give wellbeing a boost in your school, then Striver can help.

A focus on individual progression encourages a growth mindset.
'Skill Development Activities' at the beginning and end of each unit allow children to see how they've developed.
'Hard Worker Awards' celebrate effort instead of ability.
Our lessons focus on developing the underlying key skills that make up all sports, things like using movement to create space and controlling objects with your hands or feet. Breaking sports down into key skills creates more opportunity for children to experience improvement. It also means children will feel confident to try out new sports independently.
Each unit starts and ends with a unique Skill Development Activity and children's individual scores are recorded, giving a clear indication of their progress over time.
Easily organise PE across the school.
Get a whole school overview of assessment data.
A dedicated account manager and support team on-hand whenever you need them.
Striver's calendar function allows you to assign units to different classes and groups. Once assigned, the teachers have all the information they need to deliver outstanding PE lessons and you can see exactly who is teaching what throughout the year.
Data from every teacher is synced together online, so you can generate powerful whole-school reports whenever you need them.
Striver contains dedicated wellbeing units that aim to boost self-esteem and build resilience. There are six wellbeing units that children study at increasing levels of depth as they move up through the school. This reinforcement process has been used so that by the time children leave your school, they not only understand these topics, but are able to put what they have learnt into practice in a meaningful way.
Introduce strategies to deal with stress and anxiety.
Develop persistence, perseverance and relaxation.
Empower children with the information they need to make responsible, healthy choices.
Learn the importance of sleep to a healthy lifestyle and how best to achieve it.
Nurture cooperation and respect and teach the value in learning from mistakes.
Foster self-respect and positive personal hygiene.

Striver ticks all the boxes! The kids love the programme and you know it is good when they come up every day asking when they are going to do Striver again.
Striver fits brilliantly with our school focus of raising children's levels of fitness. And it has been really successful with the children taking responsibility as Striver captains.
Striver is so easy to set up and very quick to complete the challenges. It's a great way of keeping all children active whilst allowing them to develop the skills being taught in lessons. A PE teacher's dream!
Striver always gets my class buzzing to start PE! The kids learn skills and it focuses on who's best improved, rather than who's best - it's really bought PE to life!
