pe and school sport apprenticeships
All around the country PE departments in schools are utilising apprentices to assist and help motivate their PE sessions. Shooters Hill Sixth Form College is proud to announce that we are assisting schools fulfil their need via our sport apprenticeship programme.
"It's been great to work and study in such an inspiring school-based PE role"
Teaching Assistant apprentices are our future sports coaches, PE Teachers and activity organisers. They all have ambition and aspirations that motivate them to give 100% whilst working at your school and studying in class.
Each apprentice is screened through a recruitment and selection process, before being recommended to schools for their own school-based apprenticeship interview.
Frequently Asked Questions
