Secondary Intervention and Reintegration

Dan Clift

I grew up in Cornwall and always wanted to be involved in sport. I was lucky to have PE teachers that fostered this throughout my school life. 

I left school after A- levels and completed an undergraduate degree in Leeds, reading PE and Sport & Exercise Science. The year after I graduated from Marjons in Plymouth with a PGCE in Physical Education.

From this I took a break to pursue sport and was enrolled in a rowing programme which led me to represent my country across Europe and in the Commonwealth rowing Championships, where I won Gold. Injury led me back to teaching, where I was Head of PE in a school in Dubai for two years. 

I returned to Plymouth and worked in a secondary school as a middle leader for several years before taking up the new challenge of working for ACE.
