Pat is an enthusiastic and
innovative practitioner in all areas of Physical Education. As Head of
Physical Education Pat has helped me greatly with the introduction of
talent spotting and the development of talented pupils both within and
out of curriculum time. We have noticed a great improvement in pupils in
year 7 and are looking to introduce the programme at year 6.
Alison Taylor Head of P.E. Oldham School
I have worked for Pat for three years within the school sport partnership.
In that time we have made huge strides in delivering the Governments targets set within the national strategy.
This year we managed to
exceed national targets for participation in P.E. by 9%,
which was widely recognised as an outstanding achievement.

I have known Pat since doing
my professional training at University. He has had a very successful
career as a teacher, Head of Department, and most recently in his role as
Lead Tutor for the professional development of other teachers. My own son
has attended fitness factory... and he loves it! I would thoroughly
recommend Pat and his latest venture, "Talent Camp" to all
parents and children

RC High School.
As Youth and School Sport Manager I regularly work with Pat in delivering the Government's
P.E.S.S.C.L.
Strategy. His work has impacted very positively in all areas, however his contributions to advisory services
and talent development have been particularly noteworthy.
