Our Mission.

At HSSS, our mission is to empower children through movement, developing not just their physical abilities, but their confidence, focus, resilience, and joy in being active. We believe every child deserves the chance to move well, learn safely, and experience the many benefits that sport and physical activity bring.

What Drives Us

From what we’ve learnt through our engagements in schools and holiday clubs and performance coaching, these are the core values and goals that guide everything we do:

Skilful, Safe, Cost-Effective Gymnastics & Movement We understand that school budgets are tight, and high-quality sports equipment can be expensive. We strive to use equipment in smart ways — choosing options that are durable, affordable, and multipurpose. We create progressions using minimal apparatus, reusing items, choosing benches, mats, and springboards that pack a lot of value. This ensures more schools can deliver gymnastics safely without compromising on quality. See our recommended equipment here
Inclusive Engagement & Confidence Building We recognise that some pupils struggle in PE—maybe they’ve had negative experiences, low confidence, or just feel out of place. We use differentiated activities, supportive coaching styles, and peer encouragement so that every child, regardless of ability, feels included and can succeed.
Holistic Development: Movement + Learning It’s not just about doing gymnastic moves or playing games. We believe movement contributes to sharper focus, better memory, increased motivation, and emotional wellbeing. Our programs in classrooms, lessons, and clubs actively tie physical movement with cognitive growth and personal growth.
Thoughtful Curriculum & Planning Every session we deliver is structured. For example, in gymnastics we often divide our teaching into core skill areas (rolling; jumping & landing; handstands & balance; body control) over a block (e.g. half‑term). Each lesson has a warm‑up, a retrieval & development section (review + skill building), and then a “build” or “application” section where children try new skills or more difficult progressions. This allows steady progress while maintaining safety and engagement.
Motivation, Intrinsic & Extrinsic We aim to foster intrinsic motivation — children finding joy in movement, improving for themselves, and gaining satisfaction from what they achieve — balanced with positive external encouragement. That helps long‑term engagement rather than just short bursts of enthusiasm.
Promoting Movement Everywhere — Beyond PE LessonsMovement shouldn’t be limited to PE class. Our mission includes helping teachers and schools embed movement in everyday classroom settings — brain breaks, active learning stations, walk‑and‑talk discussions — so children stay more focused, less restless, and more ready to learn.

What This Looks Like in Practice

When we go into schools, we trial and test equipment so that what’s used is both safe and efficient. Cones, benches, mats, springboards are selected for durability and adaptability.
We plan clubs and holiday sessions so every child, regardless of skill-level, has opportunities to try new skills, build on old ones, and feel a sense of progress.
Coaches are trained to observe, adapt, encourage – noticing when a child is becoming disengaged, nervous, or overwhelmed, and adjusting the approach.
We provide resources, lesson plans, and sometimes guidance for schools so they can continue movement‑rich learning even outside our sessions.
Cost‑sensitivity is central: getting maximum benefit with minimal waste, making sure schools get value in terms of learning outcomes, not just “play time.”

Join the Movement

At HSSS, we’re not just teaching gymnastics, games, or fitness—we’re creating a movement culture. One where children grow stronger, more confident, and more connected through physical activity.

Whether it’s in your school hall or on the holiday camp floor, we bring energy, expertise, and care to every session.
