Alice Brown

Assistant Head Operations & Opportunities

I have been teaching Physical Education and Sport for 15 years following a degree at the University of Birmingham and a master’s degree from Plymouth. I began my career in my home county of Cornwall where I led the county schools’ netball programme and coached various age-group squads. After moving to Devon, I took on the role of managing the Devon Netball Academy continuing my passion for developing young athletes.

Growing up, I played all the major school sports but I spent much of my time involved in surf life-saving—a sport that shaped my outlook on health, fitness and lifestyle. As an all-round sports enthusiast, I still enjoy playing and watching anything competitive. Outside of teaching, I stay active by playing golf, going to the gym and walking the dog. However, my free time is devoted to my two young children making the most of family life.
