Our goal is to assist schools in encouraging all children to participate in some form of physical activity, preferably athletics, using the profiles of the international elite athletes and coaches as role models. We believe that by providing children with a truly positive experience, we hope to loosen the grip of the ever-expanding ‘Video Game Culture’ and present them with an engaging, healthier alternative. Who knows, we could be providing the first step on the ladder for a future Olympic champion!

The aim of our education provision is two-fold. To foster increased levels of concentration and motivation in children, providing them with an antidote to apathy and sluggishness in all areas of their life. We also aim to provide them with a heightened physiological awareness within a relaxed and light-hearted environment in which team-work is always prized over premature competitiveness between individuals.

As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we recognise the difficultuies schools and teachers are now faced with when implementing sports and delivery of games. 

Team Real Runners recognises the vital role sports and physical activity plays in ensuring physical and mental health and we have taken strict measures and guildance to help schools continue to deliver outstanding and memoriable sporting experiences within a school setting. 

For advice, guildance and support in setting up a school based club or lesson, please contact #TeamRealRunners direct.

Our Extra-Curricular Services provides children with an hour of fun-filled, re-energising as well as informative activity. This can take place during lunch time or immediately following the end of the school day – a time many of them would usually devote to slumping in front of a television or computer screen, snacking on unhealthy food.

Before School Athletics/Run Clubs

The perfect way to wake the children’s body and mind, with an hour or half an hour Fitness and Multi-Sport club before school. The advantages of physical activity before school will help to concentrate and focus the children for the day ahead.

Lunch Time Athletics/Run Clubs

A supervised constructive activity for children for half an hour during lunch.

After School Athletics/Run Clubs

Safe and fun environment for an hour after school, where children have the opportunity to explore and develop their skills, in a range of traditional athletic events (running, throwing, jumping).

“Running - If there’s any activity happier, more exhilarating, more nourishing to the imagination, I can’t think of what it might be. In running the mind flees with the body, the mysterious efflorescence of language seems to pulse in the brain, in rhythm with our feet and the swinging of our arms.” Joyce Carol Oates

The athletes & coaches at Real Runners follow specific schemes of work, which follows National Curriculum guidelines, covering the whole PE curriculum.

New legislation allows teachers to spend 10% of their teaching time, away from the class, for planning, preparation and assessment (PPA time). As a result, schools have begun using sport as a way of covering PPA time.

We have designed a well structured, professional and flexible solution to PPA cover, helping to enrich and extend the school’s curriculum in physical education.

Our bespoke sports programmes are developed through consultations, with the Head Teacher or PE Co-ordinator. The programme will meet the individual needs of the population group and have clear outcomes.

We help key stage 1 and 2 children develop key fundamental skills, such as improved motor skills, agility, coordination and communication skills in accordance with National Curriculum. We are also able to offer tailored workshops specifically for key stage 4 students in conjunction with GSCE specifications.
