Here is a selection of testimonials from clients that have used our services:

 
PPA Cover at St Mary’s, Writhlington
Cathie Lampert, Deputy Head Teacher

Since we started with Ed Support this school year we have noticed:

  • With the same coaches coming into the school every week and delivering all the sessions, there is continuity with both children and staff.
  • Coaches are becoming more like members of the school staff in the way they integrate with children and school staff.
  • All Ed Support coaches are highly qualified, Enhanced CRB checked and internally trained.
  • The staff are internally audited through lesson observation and feedback at least every school term by Simon Jones.
  • The school has written a curriculum map to ensure progression each year for ALL pupils. The coaches follow a well designed scheme of work to deliver each unit.
  • The behaviour in the school has dramatically improved. This cannot totally be attributed to the PPA coaching. However, a focus on team work, role models (some male) who the children can look-up to, increased achievement and enjoyment in PE and physical activity will all have contributed to this.
  • Coaches are providing extra clubs which has enhanced the curriculum and boosted inter school sports.
  • Coaches provide clear assessments for each child based on the terms work to add to our PE portfolio.
  • All pupils are receiving at least 2 hours of good quality PE a week. (Key Stage 2 have 3 hours of PE a week)
From the Teachers:

“They are providing expertise that some teachers feel they don’t have.” Teacher Class 2

Teacher Class 3 has noticed an improvement in pupils’ cooperation, interaction, respect, ability to support others and sense of fair play since the beginning of term.

From the Pupils:

"We have regular PE. I like it because we can use lots of energy. This helps us focus in class".

"It encourages us to do more sport at home. We’ve been learning about team work and how to get on with others".
 
Waycroft Primary, Bristol
Stella Sage, Headteacher

“We have been using Ed Support to provide PPA cover for 4 years now and have been impressed with the quality of teaching from the coach we use at Waycroft Primary. Ed Support encourages their coaches to become involved in the life of the school. This has certainly happened: behaviour management; health and safety considerations and implementation of our planning integrated with the coaches' own ideas have always been of a high standard. The children really look forward to their PE lessons, enjoying working with specialists. All dealings with the company have been extremely professional and Simon Jones back at base has always been easy to contact and monitors closely the impact of his company on the school. We aim to continue to use Ed Support for the foreseeable future.”

Ed Support offers a flexible service at competitive rates. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."

"This is just a short note to thank you for all your help with our recent need for an innovative Quality Assurance System. The level of service Ed Support provided was superb.

It was such a breath of fresh air to deal with a company whose enthusiasm and professionalism was faultless. Your understanding of our requirements were exact due entirely to the depth of research that was carried out. The quick response to my initial enquiry and the attention to detail throughout the project was superb.

Your communication of all relevant information allayed any fears and answered pretty much all our questions before we had even thought to ask them and your excellent experience enabled us to trust you totally to deliver a first rate result.

Thank you Ed Support!"

"Simon was the Summit Leader at J8 Edinburgh 2005, the official youth event of the G8 Summit (www.j82006.com). The 3-day Summit provided an opportunity for young people from all G8 countries to meet together, discuss and debate topical global issues, and to present their ideas to world leaders – which they did when they handed Tony Blair their work on the first day of the G8 Summit in Gleneagles in July 2005.

As Summit Leader, Simon was the spokesperson throughout the J8 Summit, and the person the students and teachers all looked to for information and guidance. Simon was a charismatic and enthusiastic Summit Leader, whose rapport with the delegates enabled a busy and complex Summit to run smoothly. He is a warm and open person who was liked by all at J8, and who will always be remembered fondly by the students who took part as ‘Simon, our Summit Leader!’"
