Great Practice in School Sport: Lessons from the Road

Great Practice in School Sport: Lessons from the Road

with Chris Dossett, Chair PADSIS

Webinar

Course Description

Over the past three years Chris Dossett has had had the privilege of visiting a wide range of schools and spending time with Directors of Sport, PE departments and senior leaders who are doing outstanding work in challenging times.

These visits have provided valuable insights into what great school sport looks like today — from leadership and culture to participation, performance and purpose.

In this webinar Chris will share the key lessons he has taken from these visits: the ideas that are working, the challenges colleagues are navigating and the practical approaches that are helping schools create environments where every pupil can thrive through sport and physical activity.

If you are a Director of Sport, Deputy Head, Head of PE or school leader interested in strengthening your sports programme, this session will provide practical ideas, fresh perspective and reassurance that across our community there is real optimism, creativity and commitment to keep improving what we do for young people.
