This event has been postponed. We are hoping to reschedule for November 2020.
The landscape of prep school sport is a turbulent and rapidly changing one. The Conference programme aims to assist Directors of Sport to raise their awareness of current issues, and develop strategies to address them.
Declining levels of children’s physical fitness is a national concern. Gavin Sandercock has clear research evidence of the rate of this decline, and the ways in which schools can enhance their provision for the physical wellbeing of all pupils. This links with the requirement of schools to communicate effectively with parents to improve collaboration and coherent attitudes: Richard Shorter has become a respected national adviser on this topic, and will present material which will help schools manage this key relationship.
The afternoon offers a range of seminars on topical issues on school sport, as well as addressing the organisational and compliance areas of the Director of Sport’s role. Many of these topics impact upon all schools, but provide the opportunity to focus on issues of individual priority, and to look at innovative initiatives within the sector.
This Conference will be of interest to all schools who are impacted by the challenges which prep school sport faces, and wish to build a contemporary strategy to address them.
