CASE STUDIES  Year 9 boy:  In specific subjects (Geography, Citizenship, Art, Religious Education and Science) I met my end of year target within the first two terms of school. I definitely believe I would not be able to do this without the help of trampolining.  I am now confident in myself and feel constantly supported by others – and in return support them – and I now have the determination to achieve my goals in everything I do

CASE STUDIES Year 9 Boy PARENTAL FEEDBACK  Parents are not fully aware of the safety of their child, however if the clubs are at their school, parents will be much more lenient in allowing their child to participate  On behalf of all the students and parents of CTC, please keep these amazing opportunities available for all students.  2 LEVELS OF PROGRESS IN ENGLISH, MATHS AND SCIENCE

CASE STUDIES Year 8 Boy– PARENTAL FEEDBACK  Ibrahim like every child has his off days when attending school, he enjoys his academic studies however it is the extra school activities that motivate him through his school day.
