  • “What a fantastic, well organised event. The staff were welcoming, warm and enthusiastic and had planned a huge number of activities for the children. The games were varied and accessed different skill sets so that each child could feel a real sense of achievement. It was an absolute pleasure to participate in such an inclusive sports day with so much heart!”

    Teacher, All Saints CofE Primary School, Halifax
  • “The reward the children get from medals and trophies at Panathlons blow every other competition away. They are phenomenal. It is so important to kids to have that visual recognition of their effort and success. These are special memories they will look back and remember for years.”

    Gemma Spiers, Pastoral Lead, Paget Primary School, Birmingham
  • “This is an unbelievable opportunity to compete at what is quite a high level for them. It gives them a place where they can use their abilities. They get so much out of it and it will stand them in good stead for other areas of life.”

    Robin Elliott, Riverside School, Haringey, North London
  • “Panathlon’s impact really became clear to me during lockdown. The impact of it not being there was huge. We really felt the absence… The progression through the qualifying rounds is a really rewarding system for them. I don’t think you can put a price on that.”

    Darrell King, PE teacher, Langdon School, Newham, East London
  • “In life in general, not just sport, we’ve always made it clear to our kids that the more you practise and the more determined you are, the better the result will be. They definitely learn those lessons through Panathlon.”

    Simon Hughes, PE instructor, Oaktree School, Enfield, North London
