Venue: Holywell Park Conference Centre, Loughborough
Date: 4 February 2027
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Fee: Starting from £155 + VAT per delegate
This conference is dedicated to driving excellence in curriculum design and policy development in further education and sport.
This conference brings together colleagues from across further education to explore the evolving landscape of sport, physical activity, fitness and active leisure curriculum delivery. With significant changes taking place across post-16 education and qualifications, the conference will provide an opportunity to consider what these developments mean for colleges and how curriculum teams can respond effectively.
Designed for staff with responsibility for planning and delivering sport and physical activity study programmes, the conference will provide a space to share practice, explore new approaches and consider the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.
Throughout the conference, there will be an emphasis on discussion, practical ideas, sharing practice and networking, with sessions aiming to:
- Support colleges to develop high-quality, inclusive and responsive sport and physical activity curricula
- Explore the implications of qualification and curriculum reforms for sport provision in further education
- Address key issues and emerging priorities affecting curriculum planning and delivery
- Enhance approaches to teaching, learning, assessment and student outcomes
- Share innovative practice and practical approaches that can be applied within college settings
- Explore opportunities to strengthen relationships with employers, industry, external partners and other organisations
- Consider how sport and physical activity curricula can support progression, employability and the changing needs of students and industry

Active IQ is one of the UK’s leading awarding organisations for the active leisure and wellbeing sector. Recognised and regulated by Ofqual, Qualifications Wales and CCEA, we design high-quality qualifications that support clear career pathways. With a strong focus on customer service, we provide robust teaching and learning resources that help deliver positive learner experiences. Our extensive portfolio spans entry level to Level 5 on the RQF, alongside a broad range of specialist products and services.
Since 1903, we’ve been rewarding achievement by designing and delivering fair and inclusive assessment. We do this because quality assessment is an essential ingredient for a good education. We set and mark the papers for around half of all GCSEs and A-levels, but we’re more than an exam board. As an independent education charity we reinvest all of our income. From funding cutting-edge research, to supporting new insights that help raise the bar in assessment practice internationally, we’re always focused on fair and inclusive assessment and the positive impact it has on teaching, learning and society.
Humans are born to learn. From our very first breath, we never stop learning. It’s a vital force that fuels – and transforms – our lives. This belief sits at the heart of who we are and how we support people in their lifelong learning journeys. We create vibrant, enriching learning experiences that deliver far-reaching benefits, preparing people for a new era of life and work. Because when you learn more, you can do more, be more, and live more.
