What Was Delivered at Old Hall Junior School

Mini Warriors delivered a single on-site bootcamp visit to Old Hall Junior School in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The visit included eight sessions across the day. A DBS-checked, fully insured instructor ran every session on the school’s own grounds, bringing all the necessary equipment. As a result, school staff did not need to prepare or set up anything.

The instructor adapted every activity to suit the age and ability of each class. Sessions combined obstacle-course style challenges, team games and structured exercise. Together, these activities aimed to build fitness, teamwork and confidence. This approach reflects how Mini Warriors runs bootcamp sessions in schools generally.

Outcomes & Results for Old Hall Junior School

Across the eight sessions, Mini Warriors reached an estimated 240 pupils in total. Multiple classes at Old Hall Junior School took part in a full day of bootcamp-style activity. This reflects Mini Warriors’ broader aim: making PE something pupils look forward to.

What Old Hall Junior School Said

10/10 Mini Warriors were a huge hit during our Sports Week last term! The pupils loved it and Dean did an incredible job creating inclusive, challenging and memorable sessions. He emphasised teamwork, perseverance and resilience and the children still talk about the sessions now! The impact has been incredible, and I highly recommend Mini Warriors for any school! Thanks Dean! Some quotes from the children were: Mini warriors was my favourite activity because I had to show real perseverance in the warrior activities.

It was hard, but I felt so, so proud at the end! I loved Mini warriors because it was challenging, but at the same time it was great fun. Best day ever! I love mini warriors as we had to work as a team in the tug of war and we won! I liked how Dean made us work really hard as I felt like I'd achieved something amazing by the end of it.

I had to show resilience when it was heavy to lift, but I did it and I was so proud! I loved it!
