Boost physical literacy with PE measurement tool
A
programme designed to improve children’s physical literacy and activity levels has been launched nationwide to support primary schools in measuring the impact of their PE delivery.
Wow Active tracks pupil progress through a series of fun and inclusive challenges and supports every child to achieve their personal best.
Using Wow Active, teachers are able to access Ofsted-compatible data which helps to support and motivate each child throughout the year. Teachers can also track and monitor individual pupils, compare class average scores against national averages and identify those requiring interventional support.
A range of additional data can be accessed, including how genders, year groups, key stages, SEN and EAL groups are performing. All this data contributes to measuring the impact of any related PE and Sport Premium spend.
After demonstrating initial success in the Midlands, Wow Active has been acquired by Premier Education, leading provider of sport and physical activity to primary schools, in a bid to expand its reach and replicate its success nationwide.
As well as a tool for schools, Wow Active gives parents the capability to access their child’s results and download challenge cards for use at home. Sign up now to get 50% off Wow Active until the end of the school year.

Food safety scheme helps build customer trust and loyalty
C
oeliac UK is celebrating 10 years of its Gluten Free Accreditation Scheme, with the mission to guarantee that gluten free food being served in catering establishments in the UK is safe and abides by Regulation (EU) No 828/20141.
Prior to the launch no such scheme existed, but now there are around 3,000 accredited establishments in the UK, including restaurants, hospitals, schools and takeaways.
Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system reacts to gluten found in food and attacks the gut. It affects one in 100 people and currently the only treatment is to follow a strict gluten free diet for life. Safe food preparation is vital for those with coeliac disease as even very small amounts of gluten can be damaging. The Gluten Free Accreditation Scheme reassures safe delivery of gluten free food for the whole gluten free community, helping establishments to meet the increasing customer demand for medically required dietary needs. The Gluten Free Accreditation symbol automatically tells customers that an establishment is safe – building trust, loyalty and driving new visitors.
Coeliac UK has made the Gluten Free Accreditation Scheme as accessible as possible by offering a scalable annual accreditation fee, to help even small independents offer safe gluten free food.
