 "AMV equipment has ‘helped to create harmony in the school yard at break times as our pupils have an activity they enjoy and are happy to play together. Their ball skills and leadership skills have improved due to the organising and arranging of teams … lessons can be planned for using the equipment or the frame can be used for spontaneous lessons.
Both staff and children alike are extremely pleased and wonder what they did without it!"
Mrs White, Headteacher – Esh Winning Primary School – County Durham

"The advice and guidance given was greatly appreciated. I have had many comments from members of staff and visiting PE coaches regarding the quality of the equipment. All in all, we are completely satisfied and would be happy to recommend AMV to potential customers."

The goals have enriched the quality of out-of-lesson provision we offer students. They are extremely popular at both Key Stage 3 and 4 lunchtimes, and are constantly in use.
The quality of the design was excellent, and totally reflected the sales brochure. The service your company provided was excellent, with all deadlines met and a friendly voice always on the end of the phone. I will be recommending your company & its services to all local schools and academies.

We requested that AMV co-operated with the school sports council, giving responsibility and ownership of the project to the students. I believe the equipment supplied has made a real difference to break and lunchtimes at Glenburn Sports College. Many colleagues have commented that behaviour has not only improved at break and lunchtimes, but with some students there has been an increase in attentiveness and concentration levels in classes. AMV products can be used as a tool to address many whole school issues.

This strong equipment has so far proven to be anti-vandal proof – so much so that we are already negotiating with AMV about installing appropriate outdoor tables and seating

I would like to thank you for the quality and the service of the Trim Trail equipment we have purchased from you. The quality is excellent and the service provided by your installers was most impressive. They were courteous and willing to adapt their working pattern around the school timetable.
The play equipment has provided the children with a valuable outside resource for free play at break times and lunch hours and has also improved their behaviour.
Mrs Denton, Headteacher – Bligh Infants School – Kent

The work done seems of a very high standard and the finishes are pleasing. We are delighted with the whole project. There is every chance that our PTFA will want to provide more of your equipment and I may be in touch again soon.

We return to AMV, over and again, because of their total commitment to a high quality personalised service which starts from initial contact and continues beyond completion. Where AMV did not have the particular item we were looking for their design department worked with us to produce what we wanted. What I have found particularly valuable is the warm and friendly relationship which all members of their staff, at whatever level, work hard to develop.
The ball sports area contains the more active pupils and allows for quieter areas to be used for the purpose they were intended. All round, this results in less negative incidents and a reduction in possible flash points. Staff report playtimes as being less problematic across the school. The facility also features heavily in the extended school provision.
Our outdoor covered seating and open seating provides a range of uses, beyond playtime, and is particularly valued as outdoor teaching areas during suitable weather … this multiple usage adds significantly to the ‘value for money’ aspect of installing AMV products. I would have no hesitation in recommending AMV … a company who will give you the minimum of hassle with the maximum of customer satisfaction.

The installation of markings & goal units through the Football Foundation grant has had a major beneficial effect on our school’s development.

Break times:- behaviour has improved dramatically … we have introduced a rota so all children can use it. We could do with another 2 of these, if we had the space! In our OFSTED in 2007, it was noted that a positive environment for play had been created. |
| |
• |
PE Curriculum:- The recent audit showed we deliver 2 hours quality PE & Sport each week, per child & the range of activities had increased following this initiative. |
| |

After-school sports clubs use the markings & football court extensively. |
I would recommend the multi-use goals as a ‘must-have’ item.

“To all at AMV.
Here’s a picture of one of our fantastic goals you made for us – we love! them. The children all play together now as a team and there’s hardly any bickering now.
Thank you ever so much from Kayleigh and the rest of the children at Colegate.”

We would suggest that other schools wishing to purchase similar equipment look no further than AMV.

I am confident that within the next few months, once we have trained our play leaders (children) I shall be able to submit a very favourable report to our Governors.
We have enjoyed doing business with you and I would certainly recommend your firm to other colleagues – in fact I have done so already!

The playground has been transformed from a bleak, unattractive and boring environment into an exciting play area with three distinct zones.
| |
• |
Team games (football, basketball, cricket, community use etc.) |
| |
• |
Co-operative (taking turns, team building etc.) |
| |
• |
Individual (skipping, targets, balls skills etc.) |
These improved facilities have minimised behavioural issues. This has been confirmed by feedback from pupils, parents, staff and governors.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for the efficient service we have received from yourselves. The workmen were here before I arrived and had set to work, they cleaned up after themselves and left the playground looking good. I have no hesitation in recommending your professional company to others.

I am very happy with the equipment so thanks for your help and guidance in putting the equipment up in the playground.

I write to say how pleased we all are with the playground markings. The work was completed in a very professional manner and to a very high standard. Thanks to Mike for the time and trouble taken before the order was placed – apparently, some of the designs have never been done before!

Thank you for all the hard work you and your team put into designing, planning making and installing the playground equipment. I really appreciate all the help your firm supplied in getting the design right for the whole school and the extra time you took with various members of staff. With such an investment it is vital we get it right and your company supported us enormously in this.

The perimeter fencing with profiles is so attractive it blends well with our shrubbery surrounds. We have had so many comments, from the children and adults, about the flower motifs which add to the look of our KS2 playground. We are all now enjoying the fruits of your labours and our money. A bargain considering the outcome. Thanks again, we continue to enjoy calmer and active playtimes using the equipment.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for all your help and assistance over the last 12 months. Everyone has been so helpful and patient while we arranged funding and waited (and waited!) for permission to install the basketball posts.
I cannot recommend your company highly enough.
