Sports Coach Apprentice (Schools)

Our PE & Sports coach apprentices have an important role to play in improving the health & wellbeing of children by delivering fun, inclusive and engaging activities that help to change physical activity habits. The apprentice will support the delivery of PE in schools, deliver extra-curricular clubs and lunch clubs, and work in our holiday camps.

School Sport Coaches design and deliver coaching programmes that focus on the acceleration of sustainable mastery of children’s psychomotor skills and wider physical education standards. They profile children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development needs. They measure psychomotor, technical and tactical skills in a range of physical activity contexts drawn from the Department for Education’s National Curriculum to enable physical education targets to be agreed. These results are used to create a high-level curriculum plan that considers school term schedules and a ‘whole child’ development approach.
