Hi everyone, Mr C here ๐Ÿ‘‹

Sorry for the radio silence ๐Ÿค

Yes I did drop my phone in a lake ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜… but I'm back online now!

I haven't been active online anyway as I've been focused on developing our students and getting many of them through this week's gradings ๐Ÿฅ‹

It's been incredible to see children learning and growing through the school holidays, when screen time typically goes up massively ๐ŸŽฎ

We've had children as young as 5 successfully complete their first grading without parents in the room, a huge step in courage and independence! ๐Ÿ‘

Some students who find it challenging to maintain focus in a regular class, have thrived through the stricter conditions of a grading and shown that they can do anything they put their mind to ๐ŸŽฏ

A quick reminder our classes will continue through the school holidays ๐ŸŒž with just a one week break commencing 24th August ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

If your child has friends who are looking for activities during the holidays, feel free to bring them along to a class - no need to book I will sort out the admin when they arrive to make it easy for you. โœ…

Finally a massive well done to every student who has continued to make classes over the month of July, it's been a very hot one and I've done my best to adapt the class to make it safe and enjoyable for everyone.

See you in class soon! ๐Ÿซก
Mr Crompton

Our junior student creed ๐Ÿซก

The foundation of our program ๐Ÿฅ‹

When I first heard it I knew as a parent, I had to get my son into this class! Unfortunately the nearest one was over 100 miles away ๐Ÿ˜’

Teaching him to defend himself was the easy part

But learning to make good decisions, stand up to negative peer pressure, show respect and believe in himself?

These are the qualities that matter most when they grow up.

Thanks to my mentor Matt Fiddes for helping me bring this amazing program to York

I've lost count of the transformations in confidence we have seen, and this creed is where it all begins.
