What’s it like to work in Uppingham’s Sports Department?

Sport at Uppingham is energetic, varied and highly visible. One afternoon you might be leading a high-performance training session or preparing a team for a competitive fixture. The next, you could be supporting scholar development, contributing to matchday organisation, analysing performance data or assisting with outreach and recruitment events.

Being part of the Sports Department means joining a collaborative team of Directors, Heads of Sport and performance coaches who are committed to excellence and player welfare in equal measure. Coaches are fully immersed in the life of the school, including boarding, co-curricular activities and major school events. It is a role that combines performance ambition with genuine community.
