We are so proud of Freddie and all he has achieved from this programme. It has massively impacted on Freddie and given him the skills to take a step back and reflect on himself.
The football program helped me with my confidence and communication as well as my behaviour in school and other places, and when we went up to sparken hill it made me feel better about myself and improved my leading skills and made me feel like I am part of a team.

He’s been able to transfer the knowledge and leadership skills to work on how to deal with situations and also understand that everyone makes mistakes and that this is normal everyday life and what he can do to make things better.
The football programme was really good. It helped me learn to be a great leader and help others also it helped my behaviour alot and made me a lot more confident. Also the program helped me learn about how to lead a group successfully especially when we went to sparken hill I led a younger group and made me more confident in leading a big group of people.
The provision and support provided helped Jay to view football as a positive outlet. An important part of development as a person. A platform for him to excel. The skills he knew he had but had allowed to be overshadowed started to come back. He started to value football and a team mentality.
I feel that it has helped me learn leadership skills which I can use in the future. I also feel more confident in this area and really wish I could do the programme again or the next level qualification.
Cj said he enjoyed everything the programme has given him. I have more confidence in myself and the ability to approach people. I have developed leadership skills.
The programme seems to have 'turned a corner' for George where all of a sudden there was a massive reduction in detentions.
Seth’s loves doing the course and I’ve heard how his attitude has changed in school since September which I do believe the sports leadership has helped him to achieve.
The programme is a brilliant idea, and possibly encouraging coaching in some form for the future.
I am SO proud of how she's turning herself around at school, it's praise from most areas, no detentions (apart from the blip) Im having amazing calls from school telling me she's doing well.. it just goes to show she can control herself. She is thoroughly enjoying your course! Thank you so much for this opportunity for her.
I have enjoyed this course so much and it has helped me loads. This course is what makes my Friday. I love playing football with Mr Allen, it is so fun and this course has changed my behaviour so much. I am a changed person now my behaviour has got better and I am much more positive and resilient. I believe in myself more now. I am more respectful and I just want to say a big thanks to Mr Allen for letting me do this course, I appreciate it so much'
'It has helped me alot with my self management and I get along with all of my friends better and my teammates and Mr Allen has been really nice to me taking me out of lessons and talking with me to help me improve.'
I’d like to think all great leaders learn through troubled times. What a difference this provision has made. Long may this type of provision continue and allow seemingly troubled kids to thrive !!
'This course has helped me want to come into school more and has helped with my communication skills. this course has also helped me with my behavior because i used to get a lot of c4s and now i get about 1 in 2 weeks.'
'I love coming to this football course. It's really fun and I always can't wait all week for this day to come and I'm doing it with all my friends and it's so fun to come out of lessons and to play football and go to Sparken Hill to be a coach. Mr Allen is a really kind guy and he stopped me from getting detentions and getting in trouble in school.'
'I am thankful for this programme because this has really improved my behavior and made me be more respectful to staff and it was really fun and also this has lowered my c4 a lot so I don't have to be in detention alot and I am very thankful for sir.'
'I have enjoyed this so much, it has helped my behaviour massively in school because I used to be getting 16+ detentions a month, now I only get 1 or 2 so if I haven't done this course I would still have 16 detentions a month.'
He has had a great opportunity and has really flourished in completing the project I do feel he has made great progress and I have seen a real positive change in him. I’m truly grateful for the time and effort you have given Jack
I would like to thank you for your work with Oliver over the past few months, it has been super beneficial to his schooling and the proof of this is reflected in his improved behaviour and his enthusiasm for the weekly sessions.
I can’t thank you enough for the work you have done with Tom.His school life has changed massively to the good since he started the programme with you.The work he has done with you was the highlight of his week and he has thrown everything at it, so much so that he has now got a clearer view in what he wants to do when he finishes school.Thanks again for all your hard work it’s worked wonders !
He has really enjoyed the programme and has spoke frequently about it at home and has looked forward each week to participating, it’s given him something to focus on and has made him strive to do better in other areas of school.
Taylor has come on in leaps and bounds since starting your programme and I couldn't be more thankful. She has now found a new love for the gym and wants to continue, she says herself it's brilliant for her mental health. I have noticed the dramatic decrease in detentions, and increase in praise cards! She makes me very proud also, this self discipline programme has really changed her mindset for the better. Thank you again, I highly recommend any parent to think about this course for their child!
First of all thank you so much for working with Jayden. I have noticed a positive change in Jayden even at home! I am so happy of the work you have done with him and extremely Proud of Jayden.
His behaviour in class changed dramatically and we feel that is down to your teaching and guidance throughout the program. Your help and advice and support you gave Tom was just brilliant and he seemed to thrive when doing the teaching course. I do believe his words were I want to do your job Mr Allen. A massive thank you from both myself and his dad for everything you have done for Tom. A different lad from 3 months ago.
The biggest impact for me has been my communication and self belief. Thanks to this program I have had the confidence to go sign up for a gym membership and stayed resilient to it.
During this program I have been able to drop my c4s by 58% which I have only been able to do with the help of Mr Allen. I have improved my ability to manage my emotions and my anger, and my confidence has improved massively.
