DBS-Checked Fitness Instructors for Schools: What to Ask Before Booking

When schools bring in an external fitness provider, the session needs to be exciting for pupils, but it also needs to be safe, professional and properly organised.

Before booking, it is worth asking a few clear questions.

Are instructors DBS-checked?

DBS checks are an important safeguarding consideration for school providers. Ask whether instructors are DBS-checked and whether they can provide confirmation if needed.

This should be a straightforward question for any experienced school provider.

Are they insured?

Ask whether the provider has appropriate insurance for delivering fitness sessions with pupils. This helps protect both the school and provider.

Can sessions be adapted?

School groups include pupils with different abilities, confidence levels and needs. A good provider should be able to adapt activities so pupils can take part safely.

Ask how they handle mixed-ability groups and any specific requirements.

Who provides equipment?

Clarify whether the provider brings equipment or whether the school needs to supply anything.

Mini Warriors brings equipment for school sessions, helping reduce planning pressure for staff.

What space is required?

Ask what kind of space is needed. Many fitness sessions can work on a field, playground or sports hall, but it is best to check.

Can the session support school goals?

A strong provider should tailor the session around your aims, whether that is PE enrichment, wellbeing, teamwork, confidence or sports week.

What happens before the session?

Ask how the provider gathers information, confirms timings and plans around year groups. Clear communication before the day makes delivery smoother.
