"(Sportstars) supply extremely high quality planning, preparation and assessment cover and after school activities, all at a reasonable cost to already stretched school budgets".
Sian Voyce, Head Teacher of Hywel Dda Infant School.
"As a Headteacher I have been challenged by the latest educational reforms of providing good quality cover for staff while they have their 10% Planning Preparation and Assessment Time. I tried a range of providers before and themes for the pupils before employing the services of Sportstars... I have now decided to use Sportstars to cover all the schools PPA requirements for next year and have been very impressed with the company...the services they provide have been a real godsend to Headteachers and the quality of staff are of a high standard".

Jane Evans, Head Teacher of Kitchener Primary School
"Sportstars is very well organised, has excellent coaching personnel, offers a diversity of sports and is excellent value for money! Sportstars has addressed the Health and Safety issues and the coaches have a code of conduct - both of which are so important where the safety and security are concerned'.'The work being done by Sportstars in schools and in holiday clubs, will play a major role in the fight against obesity and also encourage children to take a more active role in sport".
Peter Morgan, former Head Teacher of Eglwys Wen Primary School.

Angela Jones, Head Teacher of Mynydd-y-Garreg Primary School.
"I have been extremely impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of the staff of Sportstars. They enthuse and engage the pupils which will lead to them continuing to enjoy the benefits of sporting activities throughout their lives."
Chris Blatchford, Head Teacher of Glyncoed Primary School.
"We have been working with Sportstars since September 2006, when financial pressures meant we were unable to fund a qualified teacher to provide PPA cover. Coaches work closely within existing school policies and frameworks. They have proved extremely popular with our pupils and are highly respected by staff as they bring extra specialities into our school routines."
John Tobutt, Head Teacher of Gabalfa Primary School.
"The qualified coaches of Sportstars are making a significant contribution in our school, both through covering classes for PPA and also by raising standards of achievement across all year groups. With their detailed planning, accurate assessments and good class management, they have quickly won the respect of teachers and the trust of pupils. I recommend them highly."
Carolyn A. Evans, Head Teacher of Rhydypenau Primary School.

Child Safety

At SuperStars your child's safety is our number one priority! All of our coaches are CRB checked, First Aid trained and fully qualified to ensure that your child develops in a safe learning environment. Every child under the care of SuperStars is fully insured and we also undertake regular child safety audits to ensure that our health and safety policy is upheld.

Employment

Every member of staff employed by SuperStars has to undertake a thorough job application process to ensure that we only employ experienced, passionate coaches who have worked with children before. Character references are always requested prior to employment and a full enhanced CRB must be completed prior to working for SuperStars.

All coaches are required to attend a SuperStars Training Course where amongst other things, matters of health and safety and child protection policy are discussed to ensure that every member of the coaching team is fully briefed prior to working with children on a SuperStars course.

Holiday Courses

Prior to the commencement of each course a thorough examination of each venue is undertaken and a risk assessment of the venue is obtained to ensure that any potential danger is noted and safety measures are put in place.

On all of our holiday courses a child protection officer (normally the Head Coach) is appointed who is responsible for the well being of every child. A first aider is also staffed who is fully trained and is equipped with a First Aid Kit that meets government standards.

In order to ensure that parents are fully aware of exactly what is taking place on a SuperStars course every parent is issued with a Parent Pack. The Parent contains the Daily Planner, Contact Phone Numbers and other information about our goals and coaching philosophy.
