Coaching Feedback Form

 

As part of our commitment to high quality coaching and provision for all of our schools we now seek further feedback on the coaching schools received over the autumn term.

 

The School Sport Coaching feedback form asks a number of questions related to the coaching and their performance whilst in your school. We ask that schools be as open and honest as possible as this feedback will help to shape our coaches CPD programmes and ensure that our delivery continues to be high quality. Schools will have received these forms through the post over the last week. This includes all secondary schools.
