Welcome to Gloucester Sports Education
Why Choose Gloucester Sports Education?
We are not new! We have experience of running another campus in the Forest of Dean. At this campus we have achieved outstanding progress for the last 12 years! At the start of each year students are given a ‘minimum target grade’ and an ‘aspirational target grade.’ To achieve outstanding progress, on average every student needs to meet their aspirational target grade. This means every student needs to do better than what is expected based on previous results. We have managed to maintain these extremely high standards for 12 years!
Our students also get the opportunity to experience a variety of different sports. These include: Football, Rugby, Badminton, American Football, Tennis, Enball, Football Tennis, Basketball, Ultimate Frisbee and many others more.
The BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development provides you with the opportunity to apply theory to practice. The unit ‘Fitness Training’ allows students to design and deliver a six week training programme in a gym environment; Sports Coaching units allow students to deliver sports sessions to local Primary School Children; and Organising Sports Events provides students with the opportunity to deliver sports events to the local community. In addition, there are also many other opportunities where you will actually get to apply what you have learnt (making you more employable!). If you have any questions regarding the course, please do not hesitate to contact us on the details provided on this website.
Another factor, which sets us apart from other providers is the potential coaching experience which you have the opportunity to be involved in. As a College, we run in partnership with the local Sports Coaching Company ProStars. That means, you can gain coaching experience whenever you want. In fact, many of our ‘BSc Honours Degree’ students (with Forest Sports Education) have impressed so much that they have been offered paid roles by the company. This College could help provide you with your first job within the sporting sector!
After leaving education, you need to know that your experience was worthwhile. After leaving our partner campus Forest Sports Education, our students have gone on to impressive job roles such as Sports Journalists, Sports Coaches, Sports Marketing Officers, Disability Coaches, Sports Development Officers and many more!
At Gloucester Sports Education, you are not just a number – you are a person. We pride ourselves on developing students not only academically, but personally and socially as well. Our small class sizes enable more support to be given to learners. In addition, they also allow a stronger bond to be made with the group which creates that family atmosphere!
We are not new! With over 12 years of experience running a campus in the Forest of Dean, we have consistently achieved outstanding student progress.
At the start of each year, students are assigned a ‘minimum target grade’ and an ‘aspirational target grade.’ To achieve outstanding progress, students aim to meet—or exceed—their aspirational target, going beyond expectations based on previous results. We are proud to have maintained these exceptionally high standards for over a decade!
Our students also have the opportunity to try a wide range of sports, including Football, Rugby, Badminton, American Football, Tennis, Enball, Football Tennis, Basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, and many more.
The BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development gives you the chance to put theory into practice. In the ‘Fitness Training’ unit, students design and deliver a six-week training programme in a gym setting. Sports Coaching units involve delivering sessions to local primary school children, while the ‘Organising Sports Events’ unit allows students to run sports events for the local community.
Additionally, there are numerous other opportunities to apply your learning in real-world settings, helping to boost your employability. If you have any questions about the course, please don’t hesitate to contact us using the details provided on this website.
One key factor that sets us apart from other providers is the opportunity to gain valuable coaching experience. Our college partners with the local sports coaching company, ProStars, allowing you to get hands-on coaching experience at your convenience. Many of our BSc (Hons) Degree students at Forest Sports Education have performed so well that they have been offered paid roles with the company. This college could be your gateway to your first job in the sports sector!
After finishing your studies, it’s important that your experience has real value. Graduates from our partner campus, Forest Sports Education, have gone on to achieve impressive roles such as Sports Journalists, Sports Coaches, Sports Marketing Officers, Disability Coaches, Sports Development Officers, and many more!
At Gloucester Sports Education, you are more than just a number—you are an individual. We focus on developing students academically, personally, and socially. Our small class sizes allow for greater support and foster stronger connections within the group, creating a true family atmosphere.

Our Daughter has just completed 2 years with FSE & looking forward to & hoping to join them again in September for higher Education.
As a parent we can’t thank all the staff enough in helping our Daughter to gain more confidence in every aspect of the course practical & learning development, All staff are very supportive & encouraging & always willing to give advice & very helpful.

We are very proud of our Daughter & FSE they have all worked extremely hard especially during the
covid pandemic constantly there for the students online , zoom & messages & practical sessions online which we think they done a fantastic job in keeping mental & physical health up . Well done.
From a parents point of view whenever we have been in contact with any FSE staff they have always been really helpful & make you feel at ease & no question is too silly, They always reply very prompt & informing as much as they can.
we would like to say Thank you very much & well done everyone.
After watching my daughter Lily struggle with anxiety and feeling lost when she entered her senior education years, not knowing what path to take. FSE seemed like a beacon in the dark. Since she made the big step to change her career path, I witnessed her flourish and her confidence reignited. FSE has given Lily the opportunity to develop the skills in an area that she has a passion for and is now able to nurture, support and grow the next generation to be confident and resilient stars that can shine bright.
Forest Sports Education has given our son a fantastic further education experience. He achieved distinction* at his level 3 BTEC and has now just passed the first year of his degree course. Along side studying he gets the opportunity to coach at many local primary schools giving him valuable workplace experience and he has had the opportunity to compete and win a national football competition. I would recommended FSE for anyone wanting a career in sport.
