Are you looking for your next role in school sport and PE? Find out more about our MA Education (Leading Sport in Schools), hear from the course leads from the Faculty of Education, as well as Neil Rollings from Independent Coach Education, and ask them any questions you have about the course.
Director of Sport and middle leader positions in PE and Sport have changed significantly in their structure, operation and success criteria over the last 10 years. The traditional entry route, via PE teaching, does not provide an adequate preparation for the demands of these role. There is currently no specific qualification that either prepares candidates for these roles, provides a suitability indicator for employers or improves the performance of incumbents. This programme addresses this.
For those working in international schools, an MA qualification is often required for appointment to SMT roles and in some countries higher qualifications such as Master’s degrees are required for their general teaching body.
Please note: To study on any of our courses you must be employed by a school.
