"The Athletes 4 Schools Scheme is a brilliant way to engage young people in the 2012 London Olympics and to inspire them through the values of sport. The scheme is very unique as it gives school children the opportunity to step into the life of an Olympic athlete and gives teachers the chance to use this to promote many educational values."

Patron of the Wells Sports Foundation, Jessica Ennis

"I can't thank the Wells Sports Foundation enough for helping to organise this visit. It would be very difficult to have access to such amazing athletes otherwise. The help and dedication throughout the whole process was great. The children now have someone they know to look out for, and with the 2012 Olympics around the corner this is just fantastic. The whole experience was one both I and the children will never forget. I will definitely be using your services again and would recommend you to others. What a powerful tool this is!"

"On behalf of the P.E. students at Ripley St. Thomas we would like to thank you for the time you took to talk to us about the Wells Sports Foundation and the experiences that coincide with the programme. It was interesting to all of us to see how organisations that we have learnt about in lessons such as the Wells Sports Foundation works with young athletes like Katie Ingram to promote and develop participation and performance throughout the performance pyramid and it enabled us to apply this experience to the real world."
