Dr Andy Scattergood

I graduated from the University of Chester with a 2:1 degree in Sport and Physical Education in 2000 before completing my secondary school PE PGCE at Leeds Metropolitan University the following year.

After eight years as Head of PE at a mainstream secondary school in South Yorkshire, I took up the post of Senior Lecturer in PE and Sports Pedagogy at the University of Chester, before then acting as Programme Leader on the newly-formed BSc PE programme until 2018.

Following a period as Vice Principal at a large secondary academy following my time at Chester, I returned to HE with York St John University in 2021 in the role as Course Leader for PE and Sports Coaching.

My PhD thesis examines the ways in which white, working-class male pupils negotiate the structure and delivery of PE.
