Tom Clarke (Tanglin Trust School) - Building A Whole School Athletic Development Programme
In this episode of the LTAD Network Podcast, James is joined by Tom Clarke, Head of Athletic Development at Tanglin Trust School in Singapore. Tom shares the story of how he has built a genuinely whole-school athletic development programme in a large international school—joining up curriculum PE, co-curricular sport, and a structured S&C / physical development programme, with clear pathways from junior through to senior school.
They discuss what’s worked (and what hasn’t), why the project shifted from a narrow “performance pathway” into a broader, curriculum-embedded model, and how Tom navigates the realities of international school life: academic pressures, staff buy-in, engaging less confident students, and using simple systems and data to support better decisions for coaches and athletes.
To dive deeper into Tom’s framework and see how you might apply it in your own context, join his live LTAD Network webinar on Wednesday 10th December at 1pm GMT. You can register here:👉 https://ltadnetwork.com/course/live-monthly-webinar
