Meet Travis
Level 4 Sports Coach 

Travis joined Giles Infant school in September 2020 as a Level 2 Community Activator Apprentice, where he supported teachers to raise the physical activity levels of pupils in school.

Travis then went on to complete his Level 3 PE Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship where he supported in Physical Education lessons whilst gaining a solid understanding of the national curriculum.

This then led Travis onto his Level 4 Sports Coach Apprenticeship, where he has made a contribution to the high quality Physical Education at Giles Infant School. 

I enjoy attending central training days because I always come away with a range of fun activities that I can deliver in my own setting. It’s been great to learn how to work effectively as part of a team. 

Thanks to the skills and confidence I’ve gained during my apprenticeship, I have started new sports clubs at my school (Fitness and Multi-Sports).

My tutor has been incredibly supportive throughout my apprenticeship journey. I know that if I ever have a question or need help on a task, he will always make time to help me.

Everything I have learnt, participated in, and achieved during my apprenticeship has been both extremely beneficial and motivating. When I finish my apprenticeship, I know that I will leave with a huge amount of skills I wouldn’t have gained anywhere else. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the pupils in my school and helping them to teach their full potential in P.E.

For a period of time, I did struggle with completing my coursework but then my tutor arranged a meeting with myself and my mentor and we jointly put together a plan of action to support me going forward. Ever since I have been able to stay on top of my coursework and have met all of the deadlines set.

After I’ve completed my apprenticeship, I plan to go to university to obtain a teaching degree.

You will receive lots of support from extremely passionate and experienced tutors who will help you develop your knowledge and skills to improve your own practice.
