About Us

Elevate Sport Education was founded with a clear purpose: to support and inspire young people who may find it challenging to thrive within traditional educational settings.

Founded by James Mobbs, who brings over a decade of experience working with young people across education, coaching, and alternative provision environments, Elevate Sport Education combines specialist knowledge with a genuine passion for helping learners achieve their potential. Throughout his career, James has developed extensive expertise in student engagement, behaviour support, and using sport as a powerful tool to promote learning, confidence, and personal development.

Beginning his career as a Teaching Assistant before progressing into teaching, James went on to design, develop, and lead a highly successful in-house sports provision programme. For more than seven years, he delivered a sport-based engagement model that supported young people to re-engage with education, improve attendance, develop positive behaviours, and build essential life skills.

“At Elevate Sport Education, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we use sport, physical activity, and positive relationships to help them build confidence, resilience, and a pathway towards a brighter future.”

Our extensive experience within alternative provision has equipped us with the knowledge, skills, and understanding to support young people facing a wide range of educational and personal challenges.
