We have told you a little about ourselves and Kickstart, now learn what people experiencing Kickstart have thought about the programme:
SCHOOL STAFF:
"This programme has been a total success in that it has helped the students with their co-ordination and helped them to re-focus their emotions in a positive way. I wish this could be added to the school curriculum!" - Wistaston Green Primary School
"It was a fun and energetic way for the children to learn respect. They developed and learnt strategies to channel their behaviour. The children loved every minute of it, even asking at the end of the programme if they could do it again. I also had friends of the children asking and pleading to join. It was noticed that the children who returned from the Kickstart programme came back more alert and their concentration had improved" - Oakefield Primary School
"Excellent scheme"
