Glen Hardie

Glen is from Seaham in County Durham which is where he still spends a lot of his time representing sports teams and helping the community.

He attended what was then Seaham School of Technology. Throughout school Glen loved P.E and represented the school in nearly every sporting way there was available. His talents lay in sprinting and football. He represented Durham County in athletics for the 100m & 200m. From secondary school he then attended Durham 6th form centre. After college Glen attended The University of Sunderland to continue his studies in sports and exercises science and finally his teaching certificate.

Glen’s favourite part of his job is the ‘penny drop’ moment when in whatever situation you are in you can physically see that the young person has just joined your wavelength; whether that be generally within the school day or during a lesson.

Glen is a keen rugby and football player and still plays both sports on a weekend. He loves the camaraderie that team sports build between the players, coaches and the community; as well as making sure he keeps himself fit and well.
