WHAT IS SAID ABOUT US
“I have been going to (MCF) with Michael since September 2024. We have done an array of different activities e.g. Cooking ‘meals ready to eat’, learning weapon safety, assault courses, setting up shelters and more alongside doing gym work. I really enjoy military fitness, it is enjoyable and educational. We have learnt about the structure of the army and how it works. I look forward to continuing my military style training. Michael is a great coach.”
Olivia (Year 12) Oak Bank School
"The reasoning as to why I picked MCF is due to me wanting to have fun with my friends whilst learning facts and information about the military. The location offers plenty of different activities related to the military, these activities can include: Working out in the gym that is provided, being taken out to one of the available fields to learn about Military formations, tactics and how to properly work in a team, getting to work with different forms of equipment on offer that you would find in the military. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve done and I'm pleased I decided to join." Oliver (year 12) Oak bank School
“Making Children’s Future (MCF) has been an outstanding external provider of Military style training for Oak Bank School. Students began attending in the Summer 2024. The engaging and well-structured sessions have been a huge hit with our students, who consistently enjoy and benefit from the experience.
The sessions are not only physically challenging but also help build teamwork, resilience, and confidence. Michael and his team bring a professional and motivating approach, ensuring every student feels encouraged and supported.
I would highly recommend Making Children’s Future for anyone looking to enhance physical fitness and understand more about the demands of military life in a fun and disciplined environment. The students are always excited for their sessions and can’t wait to get there”
