Matt Wainwright

School Sports Co-ordinator

Matt graduated from the University College of St Mark and St John in Plymouth in 1997 after completing a PGCE in PE. He then worked in several schools in the Rotherham and Sheffield area before settling in as a part time member of the Rawmarsh PE department.

Matt is now in his third year as a School Sport Coordinator and works within the Oakwood and the Winterhill clusters. Enjoying the diversity of the SSCo job he has learnt many things about teaching within the different key stages and how different schools organise their day.

“I love the SSCo role and all the things that go with it. I still manage to spend time in secondary education with the leadership courses that I have run but have widened my horizons to incorporate Key Stage One and Two. Though at times I feel the job is bonkers I relish working with numerous different Head Teachers, PE coordinators and members of staff alike, not to mention the pupils.

Their enthusiasm always gets me excited about PE and school sport and the things that are possible when time and effort are put in”.
