We believe that children are the future and it is therefore important that they get the best start in life.  Whether you want to take part in activities with your family or get children active within one of our many organised activities, our skilled coaches and instructors ensure that your children learn new skills whilst having fun

In a society where watching TV and playing video games is the norm, we actively encourage and feel passionate about making a difference to children and young people's lives.  Whether you are a family member or a non member there are plenty of activities that your children can take part in and  remember for the rest of their lives.

We pride ourselves in the tuition and coaching of children within a variety of activities.  Please take a look at our timetables to see what activities we run throughout the school term and holidays.  Our prestigious swim school teaches over 300 children to swim a year with abilities which range from the complete beginner to the more competitive juniors.  We start children as early as 2 years old with Parent and Baby drop in sessions and then progress them into Waterbabies courses which really gives children their first taste of structured swimming.  Children can then progress through our multi level AquaQuack scheme.

As an alternative (or addition) to swimming lessons we run a variety of dry courses throughout the week during lunchtimes and after school such as trampolining and gymnastics where children are able to learn and improve these disciplines within a structured environment.  Run in conjunction with the British Amateur Gymnastics Association (BAGA) children are able to work towards specific levels where, when they meet the criteria, they receive a badge and certificate.

We are also aware that not all parents and children can commit to a whole term of lessons.  To ensure that all children can try these activities out we run drop-in classes which cater for both members and non members in both term time and holidays.  Activities include Bouncy Tots and Mini Gym for the younger ones (3-5 years), Trampolining, Gymnastics and Junior Fit Club for the older ones (5+ years).  To see which activities are available on specific days please take a look at the kids timetables.

Bluecoats also understand that in order to keep yourself healthy you may often need help with childcare and, in addition to the courses and drop in activities, we run an Ofsted approved crèche throughout the week.  The crèche looks after children from the time that they have their first jabs, right up until they are 5 years old.  Our experienced and friendly staff ensure that your children are are cared for in a safe and stimulating environment.

During the holidays we run two kids clubs which are both regulated by Ofsted.  Mini Kids Club, for children aged 3-5yrs and Kids Club, children aged 6-11yrs, both provide much needed childcare within the school holidays when parents continue to work.  Our experienced supervisors and enthusiastic staff ensure that weekly plans are produced which incorporate fun and education within a safe environment.

For that special event we run a variety of themed birthday parties and if you want something a little bit different then we will do our best to accommodate.  We can cater for both small and large parties and catering is provided from our on-site gallery cafe.

As Bluecoat Sports is situated on the grounds of a Boarding School we are inspected by both Ofsted and the Independent School's Inspectors (ISI) to ensure that we meet the strict criteria in relation to Child Protection.  As a company we actively promote Child Protection and you can view our Child Protection policy by following this link.
