We’re coming towards the end of another busy summer term. We’ve still got a few more JOLF Days to deliver, our final JOLF Nurture sessions to complete, and one last SEND Family JOLF session before we head into what promises to be a fantastic summer.

Over the holidays we’ll be out in the community with JOLF in the Park, Boogie in the Bandstand, Mid Sussex District Council Play Days, and plenty of other opportunities for children and families to have a go at golf.

But today, I wanted to talk about something that’s become a really important part of what we do – pupil voice.

Last week we visited Blackthorns Primary School in Haywards Heath, where every child from Reception to Year 6 took part in a JOLF Day. Afterwards, we collected feedback from the children, asking three simple questions:

Have you played golf before?

Did you enjoy playing golf?

Would you like to play more golf?

We also asked what they enjoyed most about the day.

In this episode, I’ll share the statistics, some brilliant comments from the children, and explain how thousands of pupil voice forms collected over the last five years continue to shape the way we deliver JOLF.
