Progressive Sports have been supporting our school, Barley Close, for many years. What started out as PE coaching has developed to a close partnership covering all aspects of school life. As well as supporting staff CPD they run a variety of sports clubs but can offer a variety of sports, if we want a specific sport they will find a coach who can deliver.

They have adapted with the ever changing challenges schools face- health and wellbeing is a huge area for our pupils so we spoke to Progressive Sports- they now offer us ELSA, weekly well being sessions, mentoring support and as they are all amazing role models to our young people the impact is incredible. We can see children growing in confidence, building better relationships and even in lockdown this work continued virtually. We also use them for PPA cover, so not only sport they follow our subject plans, our curriculum and school policies.

It in nutshell nothing is too much trouble or impossible and we are lucky and very proud that they are part of our school community.

“Progressive Sports led a very successful competition day at Hob Hill Primary. As well as them organising an enjoyable day of athletics for the children, they also brought two athletes, who inspired the children – and staff! Daniel Caines provided awe and wonder to the children, sharing his experiences as a medal winning international athlete, while Robbie Gleeson showed that children how an aspiring young sportsman can progress in his field. The event was really well run, great fun, and is what we have come to expect from the PS coaches.”

My son has been for his first couple of session this week & loved it. He’d been really anxious about going which had made me stress about it as he’s only 5, but his response tonight was that it was “100 X awesome”!! Huge thanks. Great relief to know we have a super holiday club option on our doorstep.

Thank you again for joining us for the twilight. It was a really useful session that was clear, well paced and interactive. It was good to see all the staff engage with such a plethora of activities and also able to share their own ideas and experience to inform each other’s practice. The balance of the session was well crafted and enabled everyone to be involved and I am already seeing the applications within class teaching.
