Our latest Operations Manual has arrived with helpful advice and signposting around the BMS and our IT systems.

Included in this operations manual is an IT crisis procedure with a simple diagram to follow for all network staff if issues arise around email, the BMS or websites.

We aim to Nurture Strong Relationships Through Excellent Communication (CV #7) andWork Smarter not Harder (CV #8), that’s why our Operations Team host a weekly GoToMeeting, every Monday at 10am, providing direct support for franchisees.

To enable us to be as efficient as possible to support you and your business, please make the weekly GotoMeeting your first point of contact when seeking support from our Operations department for anything PEG related.

We are excited to announce a new product has been added to the Shopify store. A personalised video will provide customers with a great insight into your upcoming ‘Inspire to Engage’ holiday courses, including customised information to suit your requirements.

You can view an example of franchisee, Gareth Simpson’s video here.

June’s edition of the Schools Newsletter will be distributed to your active schools early next week.

In this month’s edition, we’ll inform your schools about the Annual Quality and Impact Review of School Provision survey and provide heads with a free auditing tool enabling them to measure and review the impact of their PE and School Sport.

To ensure this newsletter reaches headteachers and PE Coordinators, why not copy the following link and email it to them, including a personalised message from you and your team -

If you do not already have plans in place (or actual meetings booked) with new schools and or planning/review meetings, you are missing a vital piece of your sales jigsaw.

Sales Sensei, Glenn Hoy will be presenting a GoToMeeting event week commencing 27 June – ‘How to Plan Effective Sales Campaigns’ to win new business and increase spend from existing schools.

It’s based on the activities of most of the leading franchisees that have ‘sales growth’ as an integral part of their 2016/17 strategy.

This summer’s promotion in partnership with Chewits and backed by Chris Kamara is in full swing reaching thousands of new customers as well as delighting your loyal customer base.

The promotion has targeted mainly new customers by featuring in over 21 Local World (UK’s biggest regional newspaper publisher) publications up and down the county and is set for a national promotion in the Daily Star later this month. This is an unprecedented level of brand exposure as we continue to strengthen national domination!

As highlighted in stage 4 of the PEG CQI process, all our partner schools will be asked to complete the online ‘Annual Quality and Impact Review of School Provision’ survey next week. To increase the number of schools completing the survey, we’ve sent this letter to headteachers informing them about the survey.

We’re asking schools to complete the survey by Friday 1st July.

Following on from the excellent article written by our Education Advisor, Yvonne Gandy titled ‘Education Excellence Everywhere’; we’ve created our very own ‘Audit Wheel’ for schools to access FREE of charge. This free tool measures and reviews the impact of their own PE and School Sport, whether that’s delivered with / by an external provider or by their own staff. We hope you find it useful and it can help you shape your school improvement plan for next year whilst also creating new and exciting opportunities for all pupils in your schools.
