  Director of Specialism and Head of PE

  I was Head of PE and later Senior Teacher and Director of Specialism (Physical & Sensory) at Treloar School in Hampshire, which at the time was at the forefront of disability sport and developments. I was involved with projects to develop disability-specific sports such as Polybat, Table Cricket and Zone Hockey, instigated changes to Boccia ramps to make British players more competitive worldwide, and adapted GCSE and Entry Level PE to be accessible to students with physical disabilities. We won various national awards, as well as having students progress to medal-winning performances up to Paralympic level.As Senior Teacher I was tasked with leading the whole school and its' community partners through the application and implementation process for Specialist Special School status.
