Aldro Sports Pathway

Working in his new role as Director of Sports Development and High-Performance Coach, Mr Brett Taylor has launched an exciting new initiative: ‘Aldro Sports Pathway’.

Mr Taylor has identified Aldro pupils who have strong sporting potential and is providing them with additional coaching support. Using his elite and international coaching experience, Mr Taylor is ensuring that our pupils develop, learn and move forward with sporting confidence at Aldro, in their external club teams and at their future senior schools. 

As part of the Aldro Sports Pathway, Mr Taylor is working with external clubs to better understand how we can deliver bespoke coaching, prepare for important, representative trials, and provide further external club opportunities. Where helpful, extra training sessions are slotted into the diary in advance of key fixtures to make sure children are performing at their best. Children on the Sports Pathway are invited to elite sports masterclasses and skills days; in the Christmas term they were put through their paces at a Charterhouse Masterclass and next on the agenda is a skills session at Chelsea Football Club. This support and extra training have already been a valuable initiative for many of our children, as 13 have already been selected this year to represent Surrey Cricket, Surrey Hockey, Hampshire Cricket, and Lions Football teams.

Brett Taylor, Director of Sports Development and High-Performance Coach says: 'I am passionate about the craft of coaching, and I am incredibly excited to be launching this programme at Aldro. As well as developing and improving pupils’ sports skills, we are building relationships with major sports clubs and some of the best sporting senior schools in the Southeast to inspire sporting excellence.’'

Chris Carlier, Headmaster said: 'Aldro has a long history of sporting excellence, and we are particularly delighted to be launching our ‘Sports Pathway’ to help nurture those children showing particular sporting promise.'
