Tittle of Curriculum Proposal: A BTEC in Sports Coaching and Development
Working context:
My role is as a teacher on our BTEC course as well as to oversee the foundation degree course in coaching. As we are a registered charity at the football club, we can use the power of the brand to incentivise learning in the classroom through the football club. Learners are inspired by the environment created and strive to excel in the subjects they are studying.

This is a massive opportunity to develop more education courses that will benefit the city of Bristol and the young people looking to study an academic or practical subject.
The potential barriers for the courses are that there are a number of well-established sixth form and colleges around the areas and in Bristol that students automatically think of when applying for further education. The awareness of the courses could be greatly improved through publicity and word of mouth to attract these learners. However, our course has been recognised as a quality programme of delivery which encompasses academic studies with the practical experiences alongside.
Rationale:
In Bristol there are not many opportunities to coach a sports team to a high standard with the lack of facilities that the city has to offer. Therefore coaching at grassroots level needs to be high quality so there is more of a demand for facilities and a better standard of sport across the city. As well as this, teachers in schools have a very basic knowledge of how to run sports sessions due to lack or training or understanding of these different
