Rising Stars are a children’s activities provider who, with hosting help from Schools Plus, frequently run holiday camps, birthday parties and football clubs in schools around the London area.
The company is Ofsted registered and their admirable mission statement is “for children to develop healthy bodies and curious minds through the activities and experiences that Rising Stars Activities creates.”
Eliot Tang, Rising Stars Company Director, has kindly joined us on our blog today for a chat all about the wonderful things Rising Stars do and how they’ve worked together with Schools Plus throughout their history…
Thank you for joining us Eliot! How is your week going?
Pleasure to be here and very busy! It’s just been a bank holiday weekend which meant we were hard at work delivering various children’s activities. So today we are just catching our breath!
When was the first time you can remember working with Schools Plus?
We have worked with Schools Plus from day one! Our first ever event was at Hendon School and we continue to use this venue to this day.
Tell us a bit about the history of Rising Stars Activities?
We have just celebrated our third birthday a couple of weeks ago, which we are really proud of!
From a young age, I was always involved in working with children and wanted to combine this with my passion for sport. I believed that by starting Rising Stars, it would give me the platform to make the type of impact that I dreamt of, and despite the small bits of success that we have already enjoyed, we have a great desire to expand and have a greater positive impact on more children.
What do you enjoy about the work Rising Stars Activities carries out
To be given the responsibility to educate, teach, coach and inspire children is one the biggest privileges for my team and me.
We are able to put smiles on faces, create lifelong memories, facilitate new friendships and encourage children to lead healthy lives. This gives us all a great sense of fulfillment and one that we don’t take for granted.
How many different schools have Rising Stars used through Schools Plus?
There have been so many that I have lost count! Currently we use Archer Academy, Stanley Road Campus & Harris Academy, St Johns Wood as our two main premier venues.
Why do you think Rising Stars Activities and Schools Plus work so well together?
We are both relatively young companies and therefore share many of the same short and long-term goals.
We understand that we are stronger together, and by almost working as a partnership, we can deliver to a high standard for our clients.
Where do you see the Rising Stars Activities and Schools Plus partnership going in the future?
We hope to continue to grow together, expanding into different areas of London and maybe even across the UK!
Thank you for joining us today, we hope you had fun!
Thank you for having us. It has been a lot of fun, we should do it again in the future.
