I am writing this testimonial to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work of Salaam Peace at Edinburgh Primary School. As the Physical Education (PE) leader, I have had the privilege of closely collaborating with these coaches, and their contributions have been instrumental in raising the profile of sport within our school and increasing pupils’ attitude to sport.
The dedication and professionalism exhibited by Sab and the team are truly commendable. They have successfully engaged more of our children in extra curricular sport and lunchtime activities. The skills based lessons are of extremely high quality, clearly enjoyed by all classes and enable all children to make progress.
Salaam Peace consistently demonstrate a deep understanding of pedagogy, incorporating innovative and effective coaching techniques to enhance the skill development of our pupils. Their commitment to creating a positive and inclusive environment within the realm of sports has fostered a culture of enthusiasm and teamwork among the children.
One of the many standout qualities of Salaam Peace is their ability to tailor their coaching methods to cater to the diverse needs and abilities of all of our pupils. Whether working with aspiring athletes or those new to sports, they manage to strike a balance that ensures everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to thrive.
Moreover, the collaboration between the coaching staff and the PE department has been seamless. The coaches actively participate in curriculum planning, aligning their training programs with the PE curriculum to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive approach to physical education.
In addition to their coaching prowess, the sporting coaches excel in instilling essential values such as sportsmanship, resilience, and integrity. These qualities extend beyond the field, positively influencing the character development of our pupils and preparing them for success both in school and for the future.
In conclusion, the impact of our school’s sporting coaches extends far beyond the realm of sports. Their dedication to the holistic development of our pupils and their collaborative spirit have made a lasting impression on our school community. I wholeheartedly recommend Salaam Peace for their outstanding contributions to the growth and success of sport at Edinburgh.
As a teacher and tutor at Leyton Sixth Form College, I work with many students who are coached by Salaam Peace through the college football team. I see the positive impact of their football training mirror their achievements in the classroom. The discipline, respect and self-confidence that Salaam Peace encourage help with my students’ academic progression and self-development too.
Both my daughters attended Edinburgh Primary School and participated in P.E led by Salaam Peace. Their confidence in sport and physical activity has blossomed and have since attended girls’ football sessions in Walthamstow. This session is led by inspirational young women who are role models for my daughters as well as the other girls in the group. These young leaders epitomise everything wonderful about Salaam Peace –they are hardworking, inspiring, enthusiastic, and generous with their time.
We feel very fortunate to have Salaam Peace as a partner. We are both value and community-led institutions who are determined to improve the life chances of all young people in Waltham Forest and beyond. A focus on developing young people holistically is prioritised, equipping them with life skills such as determination, empathy and resilience. Not only do these enable them to cope with the many challenges that life requires, it also helps them develop into kind and generous members of our society who give back lots to their communities.
Salaam Peace joined us in September 2021 and have helped us to elevate our P.E, sport and community offer to pupils in our trust. Salaam Peace staff have built strong relationships with pupils in lessons and extra-curricular sessions and have consistently delivered engaging and exciting sessions. They have helped us to engage many vulnerable pupils in community sessions and are now an important part of our school.
