All Saints Sporting Heroes - Staff

At All Saints Primary School, our staff lead by example, embracing active lifestyles and sharing their passion for sport beyond the classroom. From running marathons and cycling long distances to playing in local teams, our school family bring real-life experiences and enthusiasm into PE lessons and extra curricular clubs. Some staff coach youth teams, while others enjoy swimming, yoga/pilates or hiking in their free time. This wide range of interests not only inspires our pupils but also helps create a vibrant, energetic school culture that values physical activity, teamwork, and lifelong participation in sport.

Miss Hobbs loves to move! Whether that's walking, dancing or using weights, she is always on the go, not just inside but out of school as well. Miss Hobbs goes to the gym 2-3 times a week and does not use a car, opting to walk everywhere or use public transport to reduce carbon emissions.

With five years of rugby union experience for Eastbourne RFC up to Colts level, he is now preparing to return to rugby with Hastings & Bexhill RFC after a break from the sport at university. A consistent year-long commitment to the gym has played a key role in rebuilding his own physical and mental resilience, while reigniting his desire to get back into the sport. This improvement to both his physical and mental wellbeing serves as a valuable example to pupils of how sport can remain a meaningful part of life beyond school and how it can evolve to suit changing lifestyles, interests, and personal aspirations.

Mrs Willard
