Director - James Hogan B.Sc (Hons)
James has an extensive background as a Sports Specialist working with children from 4-11, including teaching in the United States on 2 occasions, and was successfully recruited in the P.E & School Sport Specialist programme with Nick Robb/Rebecca Mason through Nottingham City Council/School Sport Nottingham following the announcement of the ring-fenced government sports premium back in 2013, where all specialists were placed in schools and continuously had on-going training, including REAL PE training, and has worked exceptionally hard across a cluster of schools since that time over the last 7 years. Other specialists have come off the programme, through fear of the funding being cut, but James has passionately stuck with the role, demonstrating his commitment and dedication to back up his political opinion on the importance of it for the children. James now has the skill-set to manage the P.E Programme in schools, allowing him to focus on Talent Identification, Sports Competitions, Continuous courses, staff development, and regular detailed lesson observations for his team.

“I enjoyed P.E those past two terms as the teacher made it fun. For example I used to hate playing football but with the simple and wonderful activities I found it more enjoyable.”
