Assessment.

The Gymrun Assessment provides a fun, engaging and motivational way for all school stakeholders to monitor, understand and celebrate physical fitness development. During these lessons, children are encouraged to think critically and reflect on their own and others’ performances.

Using the Gymrun Assessment, every child will; embrace physical challenge and personal competition; develop resilience and cooperative skills; celebrate achievements and deal with failures; and better understand their own fitness and health.

On completion of the Gymrun Accreditation, staff can deliver these assessment challenges sustainably within their organisation, returning all scorecards to Gymrun for data and badge distribution.
