For instance, in the global pandemic and present situation worldwide my specialist subject teaching is critically important to community fitness, health, mental, physical and social well-being.

Accounting for diversity, equal opportunities, inclusion and language also makes it possible – and lessons have to be engaging, fun and innovative!

It is the collaboration between “community (externally and internally) of learners” and members of a society that makes it succeed as a “team” together in the world.

I’m a driven and extremely experienced ‘UEFA A LICENCE’ football coach. I was a professional footballer for 20 years and played nearly 500 matches, winning 4 promotions in that time. I’ve worked with and under some of the best coaches and managers in England.  I would like now to pass on my years of knowledge and experience to others including the younger generation. I’m used to being successful but also know it’s hard work that brings that. I set high standards of myself and demand that from those I work with also. 

I am an experienced leader within the sports and recreation management field working for National Sporting organisations and the education sector. I have extensive hands on experience in sports coaching across a range of sports. I excel at growing sustainable, adaptable sporting organisations that deliver financial viability through developing and growing effective and sustainable partnerships supported by an effective service offering.

Teacher of Physical Education, August 2022 I would like to introduce myself as an innovative teacher who prides himself on high standards. Pupils come to my lessons knowing they will experience challenge, enjoyment and learn in an environment where making mistakes is understood to be part of a process. I educate with a whole-child and concept-based approach, which allows me to promote cognitive, social and physical development. I have ten years of professional experience, including UK and international schools, and I currently teach at Brighton College Bangkok. This summer, I am returning to England to move closer to my family and I am looking for my next teaching position. ‘Sport for all’ is integral to my teaching and I support everyone in working towards their full potential. In order to achieve this, I value inclusive competition that is pitched at the correct level of challenge. I also cherish the opportunities that sport can deliver in promoting positive values, such as resilience, responsibility and integrity. Within Games, I have been Head of Football, where I was an ISFA regional coach, and have coached rugby and cricket to a high level – including at the IAPS Rugby National Finals. I have also led on athletics, where I redesigned a programme to have an ‘athletics for all’ ethos, which had a hugely positive impact on participation and overall team achievement. I have coordinated competitive swimming teams and coached at the IAPS Swimming Championships. I am a qualified football and rugby referee and cricket umpire. I took these qualifications as I value the importance of running school fixtures to a high standard. My current role as a House Parent has allowed me to lead on the day-to-day wellbeing of our pupils and promote positivity within our school. I currently manage a team of tutors and support tutors to promote high standards of behaviour and ensure a strong system of support is in place. This role requires me to have effective communication and strong organisational skills, especially when planning whole school events. At Brighton College Bangkok, I am the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Coordinator, an extra-curricular activity that I have introduced here. I love outdoor education and would be delighted to develop it within my next position. Six years ago, I left King’s House School and moved into international teaching to experience and embrace new cultures. I have gained a huge amount from my time overseas as a global citizen and I would love to share my knowledge and experiences with the pupils at my next school. My wife and I now have a young son and we are very excited to bring him to England, to be closer to family, and to contribute to an outstanding school. I hope I have given you an insight into my experience and the role I can play at your school. I would love to speak in more detail should you be interested in an application from me.  

An accomplished professional with extensive experience and finely honed abilities in sport, education, and management, I possess a breadth of experience, knowledge and talents that will allow me to contribute toward the success of sports programmes.  As a successful sport- and businessperson, it’s been my privilege to have developed and implemented strategies where sports and physical activity have been central to the development of student-athletes.  Throughout my career, I have relied on supporting people and teams to achieve organisational objectives. Furthermore, my immersive and passionate nature, and commitment to people development, position me to make a significant contribution to institutions that I am engaged with.  The following demonstrate my qualification: Helped establish the Balderstone Sports Institute and managed many initiatives that have resulted in organisational growth. BSI is a high-performance sports institute that focuses on whole-person development. A leader who thinks strategically and manage implementation, as evidenced in many of my previous roles. My experience, as a critical thinker with problem-solving ability who works collaboratively with colleagues, has been an important skill in the provision of the multi-faceted requirements of high-performance sport and education provision. In addition to my significant sport and education management experience, I have played and coached sports to a high level and standard.  My proven dedication to organisational success through my expert knowledge of sport and education, and people development will contribute immensely to the success of school sport programmes.   

A passionate and dedicated Physical Education practitioner with 10 years’ teaching experience, always focusing on both the development of ‘Fundamental Motor Skills’ and on the importance of having fun in PE lessons to encourage a lifelong participation in physical activity.
