TESTIMONIALS

“Liam and his team have been working in our school for two years nowand they have transformed P.E within St Bede’s. Each lesson is planned with careful consideration and the progress that the children are making is phenomenal. All of the staff have a wonderful relationship with our children and they love the their lessons very much! We would HIGHLY recommend Liam and his team to every school!”

Mrs King Headteacher St Bede's Catholic Primary School

“Sporting Futures have provided our children (aged 2-4) with a range of exciting and stimulating activities. The resources are excellent and children are encouraged to develop skills across the three core areas of development as they work as a team, listen to and follow instructions, jumping, balancing, kicking and catching. Staff are friendly and develop strong relationships with the children.

Little Acorns

We are a small special school for primary children with social, emotional and mental health needs. As such all of our children have experienced difficulties with learning in some form which can pose challenges for visiting teachers or trainers. We have used a number of such over recent years but with little success as the children were not motivated resulting in a lack of engagement.
I can honestly say that every single child has been fully engaged in every lesson; they enjoy the sessions immensely and eagerly look forward to their turn the following week!
We receive risk assessments and copies of all planning which is of an excellent standard and complies with the national curriculum.

The whole company is of a very high quality – friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff, who arrive fully equipped, organized and on time each week who make excellent relationships with their groups and deliver fun sessions where the children learn the necessary skills to be successful.
