All our Beth Tweddle Gymnastics coaches are qualified and every coach is DBS checked. All relevant documents will be presented to schools before the first session.
Will pupils have the same coach throughout the National Curriculum Programme?
We strive to ensure that each school has one consistent coach. However, due to sickness and other unforeseen circumstances, this is not always the case.
