Bradley Mant

My name is Mr Mant and I'm pleased to introduce myself to you ahead of the new academic year.

This will be my third year at MTS and my role will continue to combine the two passions in my life, food and fitness. Last year I had the pleasure of delivering practical lessons in our new world-class Nutrition Lab. I also had the opportunity to teach PE to a number of primary and secondary classes, and also engage with parents, staff and the wider school community. As part of the High-Performance Institute (HPI), we successfully developed specific team and individualised meal plans to ensure our students are fueling their bodies correctly.

This year, we will continue to build upon implementing the HPI into day-to-day life at MTS, and harness the power of nutrition to make our athletes in Mustang teams perform at their best.

We will be extending the Sports Nutrition provision into BTec and GCSE classes and for sixth-form students as well to prepare them for life after leaving school – in terms of making quick, healthy and nutritious snacks and meals. We will also be developing two food-based student lead businesses with our Year 12 students and Business & Enterprise department.

I will continue to foster our relationships with external companies and work across the whole school to develop our children's understanding of the importance of eating well and making good food choices. Good nutrition is essential for physical growth and development, and it provides the necessary energy for children to engage in physical activities and participate actively in learning during their time at Metropole.
