Mark Holland - SportinSchools came into our school and did a full day with us. He had all his own equipment with him, which was fantastic, very colourful and exciting. He did a lesson with every class in the school. The lessons were very well structured with loads of variety. The feedback from the children. teachers and parents was all extremely positive! We are looking forward to having him back again!

1st Class have been participating in Mark’s gymnastic lessons for a number of weeks now. The children enjoy these lessons immensely. I can see vast improvements in my students' coordination skills and fitness levels. The activities are fully inclusive and fun. All ability groups are catered for. Great equipment too. Mark is very patient with the children and his instructions are clear. Thanks Mark!

First Class Teacher

Thank you for coming to our school and providing 3 fantastic gymnastic classes for our children and for your kind comments. Even though we only had 3 classes, we could see the progress from week to week. The activities at each station were so well structured and very safe. The children were constantly engaged and challenged and really responded to your encouragement and safety rules. We felt the children gained many new skills and developed a sense of pride in their achievements. We definitely will have you back in next school year to cover the gymnastics strand of the curriculum.

Mark Holland’s SportinSchools Gymnastics programme provided St. Mary’s BNS with an excellent eight-week Physical Education station-based modules which catered for the needs and abilities of all pupils from Junior Infants to Sixth Class in this vertical school. Lessons were carefully planned, clearly explained, professionally paced, resourced, and delivered. Progression and variety were evident from week to week leading to the children looking forward to their sessions and making great progress. Mark’s encouraging, disciplined, and positive delivery meant that boys who might not normally be comfortable in this environment were fully engaged and responsive in the group activities. The fact that Mark supplied all the necessary equipment and had it set up and ready for his once-weekly daily session in our hall meant that the time available was used to great benefit. Colleagues here are unanimous in their positive recommendation and professional regard for Mark and his gymnastics programme.
