We can help children to
love being active

Children are less active than they were 20 years ago. It’s a fact.

As a nation, we have some of the worst child obesity in the western world. 1 in 3 children now leave primary school overweight or obese.

Plus, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 4 boys don’t do any sport outside of school.

Yet, there is so much research that active kids do better:

Better academic performance. Better behaviour. Better health. Better lives.

Our mission is to cheerlead all the benefits of being active and reverse the decline of physical activity by working with schools and in our local community to not only provide opportunities but help children to enjoy being active.

HERE'S WHAT OUR
CUSTOMERS
SAY...

We have been extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff working in the school. They have integrated themselves into our school family and promote the school’s behaviour policy and and virtues. Progressive Kids has allowed us to enhance our extra curricular offer, giving the children in our care more opportunity to participate in a wider range of sporting activities. I would highly recommend Progressive Kids and we look forward to continuing to strengthen the provision we offer.

The past Eighteen months have been some of the toughest for the education sector but also some of the most rewarding.  Our relationship with Progressive Sports can be seen through both of these lenses.  We approached the company in the first national lockdown to provide parents and carers of front line workers with an offer over the Easter weekend as we were concerned in April 2020 that NHS staff needed childcare.  We also wanted something physical, fun and engaging, so this is where our partnership with Progressive Sports began.  They put in place an Easter offer, then due to the success they followed this up in May half/term with another offer and worked exceptionally well with schools and Trusts, with positive feedback from Heads and CEOs.
They have since engaged with us in providing a sports offer for our most disadvantaged pupils in the Summer of 2020, again working with is locally on a high quality offer.  They continue to work with us now and we will be working with them as a provider for the Holidays and Food programme, where they have engaged with us again to provide a sports offer to children and young people.  They have been responsive, worked carefully within our Covid guidance and at all times have put our Children and Young People first.  The schools they have been involved in would also be their greatest advocates.  As a Council we will continue to work with them moving forwards.
South Gloucestershire Council Testimonial for Progressive Sports South Glos & Bristol Andrew Best: Strategic Lead: Education, Improvement and Commissioning

Progressive Sports have been supporting our school, Barley Close, for many years. What started out as PE coaching has developed to a close partnership covering all aspects of school life. As well as supporting staff CPD they run a variety of sports clubs but can offer a variety of sports, if we want a specific sport they will find a coach who can deliver.

They have adapted with the ever changing challenges schools face- health and wellbeing is a huge area for our pupils so we spoke to Progressive Sports- they now offer us ELSA, weekly well being sessions, mentoring support and as they are all amazing role models to our young people the impact is incredible. We can see children growing in confidence, building better relationships and even in lockdown this work continued virtually. We also use them for PPA cover, so not only sport they follow our subject plans, our curriculum and school policies.

It in nutshell nothing is too much trouble or impossible and we are lucky and very proud that they are part of our school community.

If anyone is thinking about putting their child into the Futsal sessions then I would fully recommend it. My son has come on no end in the six months or so he’s been attending and I can see the improvement when he plays for his club side on a Sunday. The coaches are great with the boys and very patient. I wish we’d started him sooner!
