Testimonials
December 2011, Canterbury High School
The Canterbury High School has run the FIT PACK programme for three terms now. We have started to see significant improvements in curriculum attainment and extracurricular involvement within a particular targeted group of young people.
These pupils were chosen on the basis of having low attainment, low body image and in some cases behaviour issues. After three terms I have seen an improvement in their general attitude to learning in lessons and extracurricular sport. They also appear to be more confident, more motivated and enthusiastic.
I am really impressed with the simplicity of the programme, the way the programme is structured and the positive effects FIT PACK has had. I have now extended the programme to be run with another target group, the Speech and Language (SEN unit) students. These students have low confidence and low body image issues but also poor coordination and learning difficulties. All of these things obviously impact on their involvement in PE lessons and overall attainment.
I genuinely believe the impact of this programme to be positive especially when it is driven by confident, competent and enthusiastic members of staff.
