Building partnerships with local schools

We welcome schools to our gym for either regular PE lessons, or just a few Gymnastic lessons to cover their PE Gymnastic curriculum. All our coaches are Enhanced CRB checked and British gymnastics and UKCC qualified.

We are also happy to come along to your school to guide the teaching staff in the delivery of Gymnastics in your school or to give advice in planning a Gymnastic lesson. Meapa Gymnastic club will always be happy to help PE teachers with their queries about methodology of coaching gymnastics and different set ups for the lessons. Alternatively, should you wish to visit us to observe our qualified coaches at work, please give us a call and we will be happy to arrange this.

The Meapa is the venue for the Schools Gymnastics Competitions, so please ask for details so that your pupils are prepared and can enter. Should you need help in delivering a lesson plan to teach the routines and criteria required, please do not hesitate to ask us for assistance.

Meapa has a wide range of activities, including Gymnastic holiday camps, during the school holidays and would really appreciate help from schools to promote these activities to children. We would like help in distributing the flyers and booking forms if possible.

Chair of Friends of Milestone Academy

“Meapa Gym provides an excellent service to Ifield School and has done so for many years. Ifield is a Special Needs School providing for pupils with sever, profound and complex needs.

The facilities at Meapa are outstanding. It has a wide variety of gym equipment which is adapted and accessible to the needs of our learners. The changing area and facilities are always clean and all areas are safe.

The Meapa staff build up good relationships with the pupils and the school staff which is essential. They differentiate activities to suit our learners and challenge them appropriately. They are willing to learn from the Ifield staff’s’ experience and allow staff to intervene, where necessary, as well as allowing them to extend or help the pupils to achieve. The targets they set are realistic and appropriate.

The management has always been good and any concerns or difficulties being raised in order to make the learners experience as good as possible.“.
