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.

What We Do:
High-Quality, Tailored PE Programmes Every school we work with receives a bespoke, structured programme designed around its facilities, curriculum goals and student needs. We plan two sports per term and adapt lessons according to space, equipment and weather, providing a flexible and professional approach. Apprentices will be involved in planning, supporting lessons, adapting activities and gradually taking on small-group and whole-class delivery under supervision.Cross-Curricular PE – Learning Beyond the Lesson Thanks to an IB-informed teaching background, many of our units integrate learning from other subjects. This helps children see PE as more than movement—it becomes an opportunity to think, apply knowledge and make real-world connections. Apprentices will learn how to build these links, communicate concepts clearly and support children in understanding why fitness and movement matter.What Apprentices Gain With Evo Sports Apprenticeship at Evo Sports is hands-on, practical and varied.
