Safety comes first. If a skipper misses a Safety and Poise point, that attempt doesn't count and they try it again.

How to assess the Gold Award

  1. Teach and practise the eight skills in PE, at a skipping club or at playtime.
  2. Tick each skill on the tick sheet as the pupil shows it. Skills can be ticked over as many sessions as needed: once a skill is ticked, it stays ticked.
  3. Finish with the link: any 6 of the 8 skills linked in one routine, without a miss or error.
  4. Award the certificate, then show the pupil their next challenge.
