Dragon Academy delivers after-school football clubs and in-curriculum PE football support for primary schools across South Wales. Sessions are led by UEFA B licensed coaches and are split into three age-appropriate pathways: Mini Dragons (ages 2–4), Junior Dragons (ages 5–7) and Advanced Dragons (ages 8–13).
We work with schools on after-school clubs, lunchtime sessions and curriculum PE support. Every hour follows the same four-part structure: ball at their feet within 30 seconds of walking in, a clear weekly theme explained in language they understand, progressive coaching with individual correction, then small-sided games so the skill actually shows up. No standing around. No wasted minutes.
Age groups
Mini Dragons (2–4): their first proper football hour. Structured enough to build real coordination, playful enough that they never notice they are learning.
Junior Dragons (5–7): dribbling, passing and decision-making taught properly, then tested in games they actually want to win.
Advanced Dragons (8–13): technical detail, game understanding and a competitive standard for players who want to get better.

Pop Up Play Village is an award winning mobile role play village delivering immersive, educational experiences for schools and early years settings. We work regularly with EYFS, KS1 and KS2 pupils, using carefully structured curriculum linked planning to support learning through high quality, child led imaginative play.
Our school visits transform your hall or large space into a realistic role play village where children can explore real world scenarios, develop communication skills, build confidence and deepen understanding across a wide range of curriculum areas. Learning happens naturally through play, making it engaging, meaningful and memorable for every child.
The unique open plan design of our village allows children to see and access all play areas, encouraging open ended learning, collaboration and creative thinking. Children make connections between different environments, socialise together and follow their own ideas creating a rich and inclusive learning experience where imagination has no limits.
Each Pop Up Play Village visit is fully interactive and tailored to the needs of your pupils. Sessions can be linked to specific curriculum objectives, wellbeing outcomes or themed around topics you are currently covering in school. Our visits can act as a standalone enrichment experience or be woven directly into your teaching and learning.
Pop Up Play Village offers a fun, purposeful and inclusive way for children to learn, communicate and thrive through the power of play.

Timber Cabins & Summerhouses Ltd; Trading as Summerhouses Unlimited, are suppliers and installers of quality log cabins, sheds, summerhouses and garden buildings across the UK. Established in 2021 by Directors and Owners Kim & Neville Scott who wanted to bring the benefits of owning a home garden building to the UK customer.

We understand that the needs of the educational sector are constantly evolving and that there is more emphasis than ever on the importance of making sure that all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities receive the support, resources and spaces that they need to succeed into secondary school and beyond. We are aware that some schools just don’t have the space that is required to provide a dedicated functional space for specific activities, whether that be a calm and quiet space to reflect or a bustling classroom that fosters learning, creativity and imagination.
There are numerous benefits of having a log cabin environment as a school building, such as lowering stress levels and blood pressure which promotes curiosity and improved academic performance. The biophilic design of a log cabin improves cognitive function which in turn increases attention span.
