Schools Feedback
We are very proud of the sport we have successfully delivered to tens of thousands of children across the UK - and work hard to truly inspire each child into a fit and healthy sporting lifestyle.
Here, we have included just some of the hundreds of testimonials we have received, dedicated to the professionalism and dedication of our teams of coaches and all other Premier personnel.
"We're pleased to confirm the Goldington Green Lower School will be continuing with the sport support you provide Years 2, 3 and 4 for the next academic year 2011/2012.
We've been very pleased with the way in which Premier Sport have delivered the PE Curriculum. Stuart Harding has always carried out his role in a very professional manner, as have all the Premier Sport Coaches. There has been an excellent working relationship with all staff involved and Stuart has always been happy to support in any other sporting events we participate in.
The staff and pupils of Goldington Green Lower School all look forward to a another successful year with Premier Sport".
Pip Jones, School Business Manager, Goldingtom Green Lower School
"We have used Premier Sport staff for a year as part of our PPA cover. We have always found the staff to be professional, extremely competent and able to manage class groups throughout the school.
Teachers are pleased that their PPA cover does not require them to prepare, explain or assess as so many other options might. The main advantage is that the children are definitely benefiting from the expertise of qualified sports coaches. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other schools"
Paula Wiltshire, Headteacher of Broomgrove Infant School
"Bedford Borough Council is currently using Premier to provide coaching opportunities for schools within the Borough. The company continues to show a high level of competence and organisation and as a result we will continue to promote their work within the Borough of Bedford."
James Stephenson, Sports Development Officer, Bedford Borough Council
"I believe that the portfolio and star of the week, introduced this academic year, has been a great improvement to the service that Premier Sports provide. James Jennison has been a good leader that has liaised brilliantly and always responded to me quickly when required. The variety of clubs has developed our club repertoire greatly."
Jackie Harvey-Atkins Redwood Infant School
"Since making links with premier sports the school has been able to offer a wide range of sporting clubs and activities despite the quality of the playing area and surface. The staff are highly committed and demonstrate a very professional manner. On the whole they deliver an invaluable and professional service."
Mrs Ali, Head Teacher, Manchester Muslim Prep School
"Premier have been consistently professional and reliable in all their dealings with the school, especially in respect of essential paperwork such as CRB checks and quality assurance. The coaches receive scrupulous training, as evidenced by the quality of lessons taught.
The most positive impact is that our provider, Tom Ellison, is considered by staff and pupils alike to be an integral part of the school team, and as such has been amenable and adaptable across a whole range of circumstances. His out of hours club is always well attended and he copes well with children of all abilities, especially those with challenging behaviours who he deals with fairly and compassionately."
Sue Stott, Assistant Head Teacher, Millfields Church of England Primary
"We are grateful to Premier Sport for their input to the school community"
John Masson, Head Teacher, William Ford CE Junior
"Premier Sport have been in school for approx. four years. Their coaches are on time and very knowledgeable about the subject. They deliver quality lesson which are observed by myself and other members of staff periodically.
They have improve the skills of the children involved and have a good working relationship with them as most of the all attend the after school clubs which they run. We have employed Premier Sport to cover PPA and also an after school football club. It is well run and provides a great service to the school and the community alike."
Darren Morris PE Co-ordinator, Shardlow Primary School
"On February 24th, we were delighted to welcome Paul Sculthorpe into our school as part of our Health and Fitness Day. Paul's warm personality and wonderful attitude was inspirational to all the children and adults. In collaboration with Premier Sport, we organised a programme of eight sporting events for all children in school to participate. Thank you to parents, families and friends for their wonderful support."
Mrs Julie Charnley Head Teacher Woodfield Primary School
"On behalf of the Fenstanton and Hilton PTA, I would like to extend our thanks to Premier Sport and to Dominic Carminati and James Paterson for attending our Summer Fayre and helping to raise much needed funds for the school.
Dom and James were fantastic, they were wonderfully calm and organised which was a great help to me as I was running around like a headless chicken! The guys have a great rapport with the children and we have received very positive feedback, I understand the children enjoyed the challenges set.
It was very successful fund raising event, well attended despite the threat of rain, and we raised a fantastic £1600.00."
Joanne Miller – PTA Treasurer, Fenstanton and Hilton Primary School
"At Greenleas we have been delighted with the input we have received from our partnership with Premier Sport.
Since the introduction of staff PPA time, some 4 years ago, our partnership has gone from strength to strength. We have found that PE and Sport within the school now has a much higher profile. Our excellent sports coach teaches children from the reception year through to Year 4. This ensures real progression across the school with children building on their skills from year to year.
We have now timetabled our PE to include a gifted and talented group who are given additional time to develop their skills further. I really feel we are contributing to the next generation of athletes by celebrating excellence and providing children with a variety of sporting opportunities.
It is a happy coincidence, if not surprising, that this year the school have won a number of local tournaments including football, unihoc and tennis. Next year we are taking a step further by having our sports coach for 3 days a week, enhancing the quality and quantity of PE across the school."
Stephanie Readyhough – Head Teacher, Greenleas Lower School, Bedfordshire
"Premier Sport provides our children with great opportunities to learn skills for a range of sports through good specialist sports coaching that is well prepared and resourced. The PPA cover we receive has been provided to the highest possible standard."
Tracy Holmes, Head Teacher at Tansley Primary School
"As a small school with four members of staff and 81 pupils having Premier Sport provide PPA cover ensures our staff have the opportunity to work through their PPA at the same time. Having experienced Premiers work in the Breakfast and After Schools clubs this seemed a very effective way to cover our PPA."
Anita Gutteridge, Head Teacher, Kelling Primary School
"Rob's leadership and sports skills as a Premier Sport coach will really benefit the students. We have invited him to help our students achieve their JSLA, which aims to give students leadership qualities and provide them with the skills to take into the world of work within sport. Rob will further the students' development in multi skills activities."
Sharon Bennett School Sports Coordinator, Holt School
"Premier Sport has always given us professional quality provision during the years that we have been associated with them. Their fully qualified staff have an understanding of individual needs, spotting gifted and talented pupils whilst encouraging all to attain a high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent company"
Mrs P.S Derry, Head Teacher, Boxted St Peter's C.E. Primary School
"Premier Sport provides us with regular and reliable PPA cover. Premier gives each teacher lesson plans and assessment for the sessions. They enrich our curriculum and provide top quality Physical Education for all our pupils. We believe they provide very good value for money"
Gareth Linwood, Head Teacher, St. Nicholas C.E. Primary School
"Newmarket College students were enthralled when Duncan Goodhew visited them last week. He gave an inspirational talk on being an Olympic Gold Medallist and in his answers to their questions demonstrated how attention to detail and zest for life could make each of them succeed in whatever their interests."
Mr Dart, Head Teacher, Newmarket College
"Duncan's visit to our school was inspirational. He visited lessons, talked to our pupils and took a whole school assembly. His theme was both educational and motivating, and left both staff and pupils enthused and inspired.
Although our pupils are of a younger age, and who would possibly not heard of Duncan's life story, they certainly understood his life message and ethos, and they were provided with an experience that they will be able to savour for years to come."
Greg Sadler, Deputy Head, St Felix Middle School
"We are confident that working with Premier Sport will mean high-quality inspirational PE lessons for children from all backgrounds. If children get a good grounding and a boost of confidence at an early age, sport can take them into a fitter, healthier, more enjoyable adult life."
Councillor Jos Clark, Executive Member for Children at Bristol City Council
"I would not tolerate any education, sports or otherwise, that were not of the highest standards...
"Premier match the expectations of teaching and learning to which we have become accustomed. My teachers have been impressed with the attitude, abilities and communication skills of the coaches who have led their sessions and we have used Premier as a means to delivering the 10 per cent PPA time since Sept 2005."
Kevin Bullock, Headteacher of Fordham Primary School and a National Consultant
