"We are proud, we are energised"

The topic was “Coaching Children and Young People” Mr Lycett’s was invited because of St David’s commitment to inclusion, innovation, and empowering young people autonomy in sport and physical education.

Mr Lycett shared our “why “the driving purpose behind how we approach movement, physical development, and learning. At St David’s, young people are never just passive recipients; they are active participants in shaping their physical education journey.

The reaction from fellow professionals was genuinely overwhelming. Thoughtful questions, heartfelt affirmations, and conversations that sparked new ideas all pointing to one clear truth: what we’re doing at the school matters.

For Mr Lycett, the experience wasn’t just a professional milestone, it was a reminder of how much our approach resonates beyond our school gates.

At St David’s, we don’t rest on our laurels. The care and thought we give to our pupils’ physical, emotional and cognitive development is never left to chance. Our curriculum is shaped by research, lived experience, and most importantly by the voices and needs of our students.

As we look ahead to the new term, exciting opportunities are already taking shape. This isn’t just about one event, it’s about the conversations it started, the partnerships it will build, and the ripple effect it will have across everything we do.

We are proud. We are energised and always evolving for and with our young people.
