Choose the route that fits your situation, then send a little context or complete a short form. Apex will recommend the most useful next step in writing. If a call would help, we can arrange one.

For Schools →

For Providers →
The planning, organisation, behaviour and reflection that qualifications often miss, for individuals or a whole staff group.
For Coaches & PE Staff →As funding and provider arrangements change, schools need to decide what to protect, improve, stop or build. Apex gives you an honest review of where your provision and staff stand, and a practical roadmap for what comes next.

You receive a written Provider Quality & Operations Snapshot setting out prioritised areas to strengthen, with practical recommendations for QA, onboarding and impact evidence.

Qualifications rarely cover the practical side of delivery: planning, setting up, managing groups, adapting and reflecting. Apex's focused 4-week mentoring programme builds that craft, for individual coaches or a whole staff group.
For coaches, teachers, TAs, apprentices and PE / school sport staff who want to improve confidence, organisation and delivery quality. Starts with a self-assessment so the support is focused on you.
A short self-assessment before the programme begins, so the support is focused where it's needed most.
"Better delivery starts before the session begins."
Minimum standards, what good delivery looks like, and setting the session up properly before pupils arrive.
"Good planning makes delivery feel calmer, clearer and easier to control."
Planning with purpose: structure, space, equipment, timings, transitions, safety and preparation.
"A good session is not one that goes perfectly. It is one the coach can adapt when needed."
Progressing and adapting activities, managing behaviour, and supporting mixed ability groups and SEND.
"The best coaches do not just deliver. They review, adjust and improve."
Reflection, professional standards, action planning and continued improvement.
A check-in email 1 to 2 weeks after completion, prompting you to review your action plan and note early progress.
You receive the 4-week programme, practical resources for planning, setup, behaviour and adapting, an action plan for continued improvement, and the post-programme check-in email. Optional add-on: Observation & Feedback, including live observation, video review, session-plan review and written feedback, priced separately.
Request a recommendationThree routes for schools and providers, depending on whether you want to understand your staff's development needs, deliver the programme, or both. The combined package is the preferred route.
Consultancy only. Understand staff development needs before committing to mentoring. Includes a leadership call, staff self-assessment review and a short written action summary.
From £395
Mentorship only. The 4-week programme delivered to your staff group, with practical resources and an action plan.
From £395 for up to 6 staff
Review first, then a 4-week programme tailored to your staff's needs, with a post-programme action summary and recommended next steps.
From £795 for up to 6 staff
Individual coaches can join an open cohort from £50 per person (maximum 10 per cohort). Additional organisation staff beyond the first six are priced per person.
The 4-week programme already includes a light check-in email after completion. Deeper, longer follow-on support is being developed separately as the Mentoring Follow-On Pathway.
Tell us a little about your situation and we'll come back with a clear written recommendation. No call is needed to get started.
Tell us what you're trying to improve, using the contact form or a short diagnostic where it helps.
We read through your context and look at where the real pressure points and opportunities are.
A clear written next step: what we'd suggest, why, and what it would cost.
Optional, to clarify any questions. Plenty of work is agreed without one.
Once you're happy, we confirm the scope and get started.
These extend the core offers once initial work is done. They are not part of the first conversation.
For schools and providers who want help turning a plan or review into sustained progress.
Structured check-ins, action reviews, implementation guidance, practical templates and Apex Support Hub access, so agreed actions actually get delivered. Available termly, monthly or annually, scoped to fit. Not unlimited access, and not attached to mentoring by default.
A deeper, longer development option for coaches and staff after the 4-week programme.
The 4-week programme already includes a light check-in email after completion. A more in-depth follow-on, for example observation, review or further development sessions, is being developed separately with greater depth.
Apex Sports Consultancy & Mentoring helps schools, providers and coaches strengthen PE, school sport and delivery quality. We pair practical consultancy, reviewing where you are and planning what's next, with mentoring that develops the people doing the delivery.

We keep it honest and useful. Apex tells you straight whether and how we can help, and recommends the support that actually fits, not the biggest package.
