Our new ‘Inspire to Engage’ holiday programme has been developed to ensure children of all abilities learn the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle, whilst having fun with friends during the school holidays.

Times have changed; a new era is here....

Good news - we know it’s a busy time of year, that’s why we've extended the Skills survey until Sunday 1st February, giving you more time to complete it.

To say ‘thank you’ one lucky winner will win an iPad Air. This really is a prize draw you stand a good chance of winning!

The survey will take you less than 5 minutes to complete.

Earlier this month, Duncan Donnelly held his first ‘Inspire to Compete’ basketball competition in conjunction with the Outer West Learning Trust in Newcastle. The event was organised by Premier Sport’s local Competitions Coordinator, Darryll Donnelly.

Each school entered the competition with a basketball team which was supported by a media team. The work of the media was vital with each school being able to document their journey from their basketball after school clubs to the actual competition day itself. During the competition, the media teams interviewed their own players and staff as well as players and staff from other schools.

This week sees the launch of part one of the Golden Mile ‘Monitor Training’ resource that provides licensees with video of a live training session delivered by GM Director, Karl Fox. This particular process is integral to the success, longevity and reducing the time management of GM within your schools.

Paul Baker from the Wigan and Leigh territory attended a ‘Participatory Budget’ event last Saturday at Higher Fold community Centre and scooped £1,998 for one of his schools.

The event was run by the local police force and it was a ‘Participatory Budget’ event in which the police have invested £20,000 into the local community. They invited organisations to bid for a share of the money with a maximum of £2,000 per bid.

Paul commented:

We have exclusive opportunities available for somebody that you might know wanting to run their very own Premier Sport business.

It might be a family member or a friend, whoever it is we’d love to hear from them and it’s so easy to get in touch!

All you need to do is send them the link below for them to complete the short online form. We’ll then get in touch for a chat!

County Sports Partnership, ‘Active Essex’ recently invited companies to express an interest in working as a partner in order to deliver a huge range of sporting activities to schools in the county.

We invited Franchisees from the county to submit their Ofsted inspection results so we could use this in the document we created on their behalf – you can view the document here.

Last week was significant for the physical activity sector, as Labour coincidentally launched its Public Health Policy proposals on the same day a new study from Cambridge University warning of the dangers of inactivity was published.

We would encourage you read the analysis of both reports below, and also to take some time to explore each of them in detail; the links can also be found below.
