Leisure & Sport

All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. The Chief medical Officers guidelines recommend that children and young people should be achieving at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day however, recent research shows that only 17.5% of children meet these guidelines. 

Enable work in partnership with Wandsworth Council to provide professional sports coaching for schools in Wandsworth. Our aim is to inspire more children to participate in sport & physical activity by providing fun sporting experiences. Children and young people who have positive experiences of sport and physical activity are more likely to continue a physically active habit for life. We are able to provide bespoke provision to schools, based on their needs and budgets in the hope we can sustain a positive relationship with young people and physical activity into adulthood.

For staff

Staff wellbeing is becoming increasingly important for developing a mentally healthy school. If staff are feeling good in themselves, they feel motivated and engaged and are more likely to improve the wellbeing of the children they work with too. It is well known that poor wellbeing can lead to an increase in sick leave and dissatisfaction with the job but there are plenty of ways in which schools can support good wellbeing of their staff. 

Enable can offer a variety of fitness classes for teachers and support staff either before or after school ranging from yoga, dance fitness, Zumba and more. On top of this Enable are also pleased to be able to offer teachers CPD sessions that can help teachers refine their skills to ensure they can deliver exercises to the best of their ability.

“Holy Ghost RC Primary School have enjoyed a positive relationship with Enable for many years. The children have appreciated well – run events and benefitted from specialist coaching in both curriculum time and at out of school hours’ clubs. It is reassuring to always have a personable contact I can approach at Enable.”
