We’ve now reached 1,000 signatures for the campaign to add skateboarding as an option within GCSE Physical Education in England — all in a short space of time.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition and helped spread the word. It’s been amazing to see support from across the skateboarding community, including skateparks, skate schools and individuals who believe skateboarding deserves to be considered within GCSE PE.

Across England, there are already skate clubs and skate sessions happening within schools, showing how relevant this discussion is for young people today. Skateboarding is already part of school communities, even if it is not currently recognised as a GCSE PE option.

Reaching 1,000 signatures is an important milestone, but this is only the beginning. The next step is to keep the momentum going and continue growing support for the campaign.

Thank you again for being part of this.
