Mr Coughlan

PE Teacher

I graduated from York St John University in 2014 with a degree in Sports Science. Having always had a passion for sport and education, I have worked with various sports coaching companies and obtained professional qualifications in numerous sports. I’ve also managed a local holiday club, offering coaching outside school hours, and continue to coach during school holidays.

Most recently, I worked for Staffordshire Cricket, where I was responsible for growing cricket across the county. I was honoured to receive the national “Chance to Shine” Coach of the Year award—a proud moment.

During my time at Walton Priory, I have contributed to a successful internal deep dive, which was deemed outstanding. I have also offered a variety of extracurricular clubs and sports fixtures, helping the school achieve the AFPE accreditation.

Outside school, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two young children. My hobbies include playing and coaching cricket, cycling, running, and socialising with friends.
