Children at Richard Bonington School in Arnold are transformed by Know the Game sessions

'Gordon is an innovative and inspiring tutor who always delivers new and exciting PE ideas. He will often take 'old ideas' and breathe new life into them.

Similarly he comes up with fresh ideas that are brand new.

The children absolutely love his sessions and look forward to them all week. There is never a dull moment.

Children who previously disliked PE and struggled are now blossoming and crucially, enjoying PE.

The vast improvement and transformation to the children's co-ordination, movement and gross motor skills is brilliant to see.'
