Our Sport students at Weston College are benefiting from the extensive industry experience of Sport and Fitness lecturer, Isaac Berry, whose successful coaching career continues to shape and enhance the learning experience both inside and outside the classroom. 

Our Sport and Fitness students recently received a hands-on workshop with self-employed sports physiotherapist, Sam, who shared her expertise with the students as part of their current unit on their course, gaining a deeper understanding of how to deal with injuries.

Earlier this month, a wide range of students took a trip to New York City to visit the iconic tourist attractions and experience the sights of one of the most famous cities in the world.

Last month, our Sport and Fitness students visited JC Strength Studio to meet strength and conditioning professional and gym owner, Jon Clarke. The visit offered an excellent opportunity for students to explore potential career pathways linked to their course, while also highlighting the value of employer engagement and industry insight.

Our Sports students recently took part in a workshop with Damian from the Somerset Cricket Foundation, where the students learnt how to play and referee table cricket, an inclusive cricket activity which makes cricket accessible for everyone, especially SEND students.

This month, Weston College celebrated Raising and Giving (RAG) Week with the theme of the Wild West. The themed event gave everyone the chance to organise games, activities, and raffles in support of two incredible charities: Weston Hospicecare and UNICEF. 

Sport students were recently given a unique opportunity to experience the inner workings of elite football during a behind-the-scenes visit to Bristol City Football Club on a busy matchday at Ashton Gate Stadium.

Recently, our Sport learners attended an inspiring guest lecture delivered by Luke Morgan, First Team Football Analyst at Bristol City Football Club. Luke is a former Weston College student, having previously studied the Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science.

Last term, Weston College hosted an NFL Flag UK programme for teachers from across North Somerset. During the session, two of our Sport & Fitness lecturers, Dan Pratlett and Morgan Sealey, took part, giving Weston College the opportunity to become an official NFL Flag School and introduce non-contact flag football to our students.
