Head of Education and Training

Our mission is to provide high‑quality professional development, advice and partnership working to support Physical Education, school sport and physical activity across early years, primary, secondary and special settings, working closely with key local and national partners.

Training is accessible to all education settings, with an annual programme aligned to school needs and additional opportunities created in response to demand.

Our high-quality facilitators are all practising teachers with over 20 year’s experience in a range of school settings. Many work at senior leadership level and have previously been Advanced Skills Teachers, Specialist Leaders of Education and Lead Practitioners for Physical Education.

As an Association for PE (AfPE) approved high quality approved professional development provider, we are delighted that our programme has been nationally accredited.
