  • “Many thanks for organising such a fabulous event. We loved every minute of the gala and it was well worth the journey from Bristol and getting up so early. Some of our children went to bed wearing their medals because they were so proud of their achievements.”

    Claire Spencer, Associate Head, Elmfield School for Deaf Children
  • “This is like Christmas for our pupils. It’s the best thing these children have with regards to sporting and life opportunities.”

    Adam Miller, Greenways School, Southend
  • “When the children returned from the Panathlon competition they were on an absolute high and brimming with confidence. We’ve really seen in PE lessons that they are more confident in their own ability and have higher self-esteem.”

    Laura Jackson, Head Teacher, All Saints Primary in Humberside
  • “The children had a blast! Swimming is great for SEN children. Three quarters of our team could not swim at all and needed something like this to gently push their parents into signing them up for swimming lessons. My children and I will be at every single Panathlon event. They wouldn’t get these opportunities without you.”
    Wayne Brown, Rosetta Primary School, Newham
  • “Being a Young Leader makes me feel like I’ve got the power to do anything. It’s amazing. I love helping at the Panathlons because I can encourage younger kids. When I do that, I’m making people happy and that makes me happy.”

    Miriam Skinner, Panathlon’s London Primary Outstanding Young Leader of the Year 2021
