    About Us
    What parents and schools say

    Trusted by families, valued by schools

    Not just sport has enabled us to develop an excellent PE curriculum in line with our ethos and values. The coaches build excellent relationships with the children and promote inclusion, empowerment, encourage the children to step outside their comfort zone and become independent learners.

    Barbara Lo Giudice, Head Teacher

    Not Just Sport has been an invaluable partner in developing and enhancing our sports provision at Wellington Primary School. Their dedicated coaches provide both lunchtime sports sessions and PPA cover, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and adaptability. The quality of coaching is excellent, with children benefiting from engaging, healthy activities that build confidence and teamwork.

    They consistently provide coaches who are the right fit for our school, working well with both children and adults. Wesley has been hugely supportive, helping us shape a curriculum that enhance our provision beyond the national curriculum. I highly recommend Not Just Sport to anyone looking to enrich sport in their school.

    Martin Grant, Headteacher

    Not Just Sport have been working with Wellington Primary School since 2022. We use Not Just Sport coaches for lunchtime sport provision and as part of our PPA cover arrangements. Their recruitment processes are clearly robust, as all the coaches who work with us are of a high standard; they relate well to children, provide quality sport education and experience, and have a professional yet flexible attitude.

    Through Not Just Sport, children at Wellington also have opportunities to take part in inter-sports competitions which further enrich their sporting experiences.

    Wesley, the director of the company is also a real asset. He has supported us to ensure that our PE curriculum exceeds the expectations of the national curriculum and Wellington children secure a good understanding of sport and sportsmanship.

    I highly recommend Not Just Sport to all schools.

    Mandy Kellegher, Deputy Headteacher - Wellington Primary School

    “Brilliant company who really care about the kids with their summer club, would highly recommend to any parents who want their kids to have fun and try new things!”

    Jordan Shaw

    “Unreal service, top quality staff, really friendly and attentive. I often leave my children with NJS over the school holidays, they always talk about how fun it is.” 👍

    Tom Lawley

    “I sent my son to Not Just Sports summer camp mainly to get a break from the day-to-day grind of being a single father, however my son came away from his experience not just fitter, having shed some of his puppy fat, but also having gained a respect and appreciation for a multitude of sports that he played whilst on camp.
    I cannot thank NJS enough for their commitment to providing every child with an inclusive experience. Worth every penny. Thank you.”

    Dan Black

    “Wesley and ‘Not Just Sports’ values-driven approach have placed themselves at the heart of our school. Wesley and his team have the respect of our children, parents and staff. They are an integral part of our day from morning sports coaching in breakfast club, PE lessons and lunchtime games play through to after-school clubs.
    Wesley has strengthened our school curriculum to include intra-school and inter-school sports competitions. Children’s skills and engagement have been systematically developed as they have worked towards a competition. Often these have been linked to local, national or international sporting events. Not Just Sports are great at spotting children with potential talents, interests and those who have made great progress during their time with them.”

    Claire Stewart, Deputy Headteacher

    “As we left the session last week, Joseph’s friends were in the park. They all play in a team together but their game had been cancelled. They were having a kick around and asked Joseph to join in and he did for about 30 minutes.
    He has never done this before and he said he wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t had the lessons with you. Thank you for improving his football and confidence.”

    Lisa – 1-2-1 Football Sessions

    “Wesley is a brilliant leader and his work as a sports coach and lifestyle coach is outstanding. His lessons, based on sound educational principles, are always motivating and enjoyable and he creates rapport with groups very quickly. Group discipline comes with ease through the combination of clearly communicated boundaries and Wesley’s natural warmth and kindness. I can highly recommend him.”
