With a full cohort of Year 8s in a sports hall, the thing that makes the day sing isn’t the activity — it’s the people running it. Keeping a big group engaged, on task and genuinely enjoying themselves is a teaching skill, and it’s the one that decides whether a day lands.
So the question worth asking any provider is a simple one: who is actually standing in front of your children?
We’re both qualified teachers. We’ve run classrooms, we know how to keep a big group with us, and we bring that to every day we run. For a secondary cohort that isn’t a nice extra — it’s the whole point. It’s worth asking about too, because plenty of activity instructors are brilliant at the activity and have never had to hold a hall.
The first week, when 200 strangers have to become a year group. Mixed teams, a problem none of them can solve alone, and a reason to talk to the person next to them.
Your incoming Year 6s, on your site, before September. We already run this day from the primary side — we know exactly what those children are frightened of, because they tell us.
The day the timetable comes apart and somebody has to fill it with something better than a film. Built for a full year group, run by us.
Year 11 have gone, Year 10 are restless, and everyone is done. A day with a purpose beats a day with a screen.
One day of your week, properly run, with equipment your school doesn’t have to buy or store.
For the cohort that earned something, without the coach, the cost, or the risk assessment for a motorway.
Before they’re your Year 7s, they’re somebody’s Year 6s — and that is exactly where we work. Primary schools book us to get children ready for the move up: to build the resilience, the teamwork and the nerve they’ll need in September.
Which means we come into your induction day already knowing what those children are anxious about. Not because we’ve read about it. Because we were in the room in July when they said it out loud.
“Organised, knowledgeable and able to keep 32 children on task all afternoon. Afternoons like these are vital to prepare children for secondary. They’ll definitely be returning!”
Tell us the size of the cohort and we’ll confirm what we can deliver well. Where a year group is larger than two of us can do full justice to, we’ll be upfront at the planning stage and agree the right approach with you.
No. We build the day around the groups you already have. Some providers cap teams at a fixed size and make your timetable fit their equipment. We don’t.
Sports hall, field, playground, MUGA, or a big classroom. We’ll review what you have on the planning call and confirm the best setup for the day.
Tell us the cohort, the term, and what you’d like the day to achieve, and we’ll set out exactly what we’d run and how we’d approach it.
