Working Together - About us - Dover School Sport Partnership

Working Together

Since it's inception in September 2006, the Dover District School Sports Partnership has been working to bring a whole plethora of different people and agencies together to improve the quality and provision of PE and sport across the Dover District.

Teaching and non teaching staff from primary, special and secondary schools, as well as parents, volunteers, coaches and community club representatives are coming together to improve the sporting provision in the Dover District. We also work with a number of local, county-wide and National agencies, including the Dover District Council, Vista Leisure, East Kent Health Promotion, Advisory Service Kent (ASK), Kent Sports Development Unit, Healthy Schools, Department of Children, Schools and Families, and the Youth Sport Trust.  This theme of ‘working together' is also reflected in the activities undertaken by the young people themselves,  as pupils come together to engage in more competitive sport and festivals, and to lead activities in their own and other schools and within the local community.

The School Sports Partnership team is made up of the Partnership Development Manager (PDM), Elaine Head, Assistant PDM and SSCo, Pete Norton, and 5 other SSCOs - (School Sport Co-ordinators), Trevor James, Ian Hall, Les Sheppard, John Castle, & Jo Knee, as well as our Admin assistant, Jemma Medhurst, our Participation Plus co-ordinator, Vicky Whorlow,  and our Community Gym and Dance coach, Hannah Gillies. Hannah is currently on maternity leave, having given birth to a Baby boy, Harvey, in August.

The Dover School Sport Partnership is proud to be based at Castle Community College noted for it's excellent Sporting facilities and achievements nationally.
