IAN WHEATLEY

education and sports mentor

I joined the Northampton Town Football Club Community Trust in January 2026.

My role as an Education and Sports Mentor is to deliver engaging, high-quality Physical Education and targeted interventions across schools in the county. I focus on mentoring young people, building confidence, and using the power of sport to provide positive educational outcomes.

I have a passion for football coaching, particularly driving the growth of the female game and ensuring girls have equal access to playing the game in educational settings.

I'm looking forward to helping schools raise the standards of Physical Education and watching the pupils we support grow in confidence, build resilience and gain skills to help them in the future.

I'm also very excited to continue my own development alongside the team at the Trust.
