Testimonial
Phil Keeling Burton (PE teacher at Orchard School, Bristol)
“In 2014 we had 10 pupils wanting to try mountain biking as part of there GCSE PE course. At first this seemed a challenge, but once we spoke to Pedal Progression, all was sorted. The professionalism of the team at Pedal Progression was excellent from the start. They quickly organised dates and equipment for myself and my pupils and they were adaptable to unforeseen changes. Most importantly they kept an open dialogue with me each week before the ride day to ensure the pupils were covering the correct skills and techniques required to fulfill their GCSE criteria. This along with their open and friendly approach allowed all the pupils to OVER achieve their predicted grades. A massive thank you to Matt and his team for all your work. We look forward to working with you again this year.”
