For the second year running, the Premier Sport Marketing team was named as a finalist in the ‘Best Overall Marketing Campaign’ category at the 2015 Franchise Marketing Awards, which recognises the industry’s most innovative and effective marketing campaigns.

In this strong category, franchisors are recognised for their consistency of approach, overall impact, brand awareness and development of a theme across at least three media.

Former bfa Chairman and successful franchisor Melvin Lusty joined Olympic Gold Medallist and Businessman Duncan Goodhew MBE in the stunning surroundings of Dunstan Hall Golf & Country Club, to celebrate the successes of over 100 Premier Sport franchisees.

This annual event brings together franchisees from all four corners of the country to not only celebrate success of the past 12 months, but also learn and impart knowledge with fellow business owners to ensure the next 12 months will be even more successful.

Olympic gold medallist Duncan Goodhew MBE will urge primary schools across the UK to encourage more competitive school sport at a primary school sports event in Maidstone. The football and basketball tournament at Brunswick House Primary School in Maidstone on Tuesday 24th March 2015 will be hotly contested by 60 children from the host school and seven other local primary schools across Maidstone.

Ofsted have released a two part video highlighting ‘good practice in competitive school sport’.

Part one shows how Eastbury Comprehensive School has excelled at competitive school sport and is introduced by Ofsted’s National Lead for physical education, John Mitcheson HMI. The short video includes detail about futsal, table tennis, rounders and football.

Andrew Thomson, a Multi-Skills External Verifier for 1st4sport, recently visited PEG Head Office to observe our ability to deliver the 3 in 1 combined qualification, including PESS L2, Principles of Coaching L2 and Multi-Skills L2.

Before Andrew’s visit, he questioned how we can blend this valuable learning into a one week course.

We’re delighted to announce the external verification got a big thumbs up from Andrew who commented:

Sports coach UK, with the support of National Partners including COMPASS, has revamped the Coaching in Primary Schools Portal following recommendations from schools across England. The Portal is a free to access resource for schools identifying a need for coaching through the Primary PE and Sport Premium. With just a couple of clicks, Head Teachers and PE Leads can find all the information they require to effectively and sustainably recruit and deploy a coach in their school.
