Sports Coach job summary

St. Michael's CE Primary Academy seeks to appoint an experienced and enthusiastic Sports Coach who is committed to encouraging pupil participation, developing skills, and assisting pupil success. The ideal candidate will be suitably qualified and experienced to coach across a range of ages and abilities before, during, and after school, as well as manage and officiate fixtures.

Our Ambitions for Sport and PE: Handsworth faces a notable shortage of sporting opportunities and teams, which significantly impacts our pupils at St. Michael's CE Primary Academy. Due to limited community sports facilities and organised teams, many children in Handsworth rely solely on school-based sports for their physical activity and skill development. This scarcity underscores the critical role of sport at St. Michael's, where we strive to provide a comprehensive and engaging physical education program.

Our ambitions for the growth of Sport and PE over the next two years are:

1. We are committed to achieving the School Games Silver Award, reflecting our dedication to high-quality school sport.

2. We aim to increase our pupils' participation in inter-school sports by becoming an active member of our local school sport partnership.

3. We want our pupils to watch and experience more live professional sporting events, inspiring them and broadening their horizons.

4. We want to develop a rich array of extra-curricular sports clubs that will provide numerous opportunities for pupils to actively participate, develop their skills, and enjoy the benefits of a vibrant sporting culture.

5. Our ambition is for more pupils to play sport outside of school. We want to form links with clubs and partners from across Birmingham and to signpost families to teams and clubs to help more children to participate in sporting activities regularly.

The attached applicant pack contains more information about the role, the school and our ambitions for sport and PE.
