Home » Our Work » Education » Pathway to Podium

The Pathway to Podium initiative has been endorsed by United by Birmingham 2022.


What is Pathway to Podium?

The Pathway to Podium initiative has been designed to recognise and encourage schools' contribution to Physical Education, school sport and physical activity (PESSPA).

It celebrates the positive work that schools are delivering in terms of PESSPA and supports schools to improve their offer for the benefit of children and young people.

Pathway to Podium is available for all schools across Birmingham and is designed to use the 2022 Commonwealth Games as a tool to increase the opportunities for young people to be active for a minimum of 60 minutes every day.

How does Pathway to Podium work?

Pathway to Podium will provide a set of criteria across 5 key areas of PROFILE, PARTICIPATION, PERFORMANCE, PEOPLE and PLACES.

Schools will complete an initial self-assessment on each of the 5 key areas and receive a rating (bronze, silver or gold) based on their responses. Schools will need to evidence key strategies they have implemented, the impact this has had on the outcomes and progress for young people and their plans for future development.

Schools will be supported to develop an action plan that enhances their school offer in PESSPA and improves the outcomes for young people. Schools will be encouraged to re-assess on a yearly basis to evidence improvements and prioritise further developments.


How do schools get involved?

The Pathway to Podium initiative is open to all schools in Birmingham.

Please read the Overview document below that summarises the initiative and the process involved to ensure schools are supported throughout and can use the initiative as a successful development tool for your school's PESSPA offer.

The initial Self-assessment documents are located below, differentiated by Primary, Secondary and All-Through schools.
