HERE'S WHAT OUR
CUSTOMERS
SAY...

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.

Partner School Head Teacher Testimonial Jo Williams Barley Close Community Primary School Head Teacher
The past Eighteen months have been some of the toughest for the education sector but also some of the most rewarding.  Our relationship with Progressive Sports can be seen through both of these lenses.  We approached the company in the first national lockdown to provide parents and carers of front line workers with an offer over the Easter weekend as we were concerned in April 2020 that NHS staff needed childcare.  We also wanted something physical, fun and engaging, so this is where our partnership with Progressive Sports began.  They put in place an Easter offer, then due to the success they followed this up in May half/term with another offer and worked exceptionally well with schools and Trusts, with positive feedback from Heads and CEOs.
They have since engaged with us in providing a sports offer for our most disadvantaged pupils in the Summer of 2020, again working with is locally on a high quality offer.  They continue to work with us now and we will be working with them as a provider for the Holidays and Food programme, where they have engaged with us again to provide a sports offer to children and young people.  They have been responsive, worked carefully within our Covid guidance and at all times have put our Children and Young People first.  The schools they have been involved in would also be their greatest advocates.  As a Council we will continue to work with them moving forwards.
South Gloucestershire Council Testimonial for Progressive Sports South Glos & Bristol Andrew Best: Strategic Lead: Education, Improvement and Commissioning

Nova Primary has been working in partnership with Progressive Sports since January 2020. As headteacher, I have worked with organisations providing similar offers but none have been as efficient or enthusiastic. Progressive Sports staff facilitate a range of roles in the school including cover teachers, sports coaches for classes/clubs and sports mentors for children who need social and emotional support. I can honestly say that we love having them here and the children do to. They have been incredibly supportive throughout the pandemic and always pay attention to safety guidance. I recommend would them whole-heartedly to any setting.

Partner School Head Teacher Testimonial Anna Morris Nova Primary School Head Teacher

We had a party today for my son who’s turning 6.
It was amazing! The kids all thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave.
Alex who ran the party was great! He checked in with me a couple of times to make sure we were on time for doing the cake etc which was really nice. He was so great with the kids, a lovely guy.

Progressive Sports booked the hall, entertained the kids and even brought party bags and a present for my son. It was so simple, I just brought the cake along and enjoyed it.  It was really easy and reasonably priced too. I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you!!
