Meet the staff - Derek Kemp

I went to school in Bath, the old City of Bath Boys’ School, gaining 3 A levels. After that I trained at Loughborough College of Education as a PE teacher, gaining a Bachelor of Education Joint Honours degree, in Physical Education and Physical Science. I returned to Bath and then taught PE and Maths at King Edward's School in Bath for over twenty years. The pressures of being Director of Sport helped me to decide in 2005 that I needed a change in order to regain control of my lifestyle and reduce the stress in my life.

I trained with Premier Global International and gained a Diploma in Personal Training, which includes fitness instruction, personal training, nutrition, first aid and sports massage. I work as a Sports Masseur based at home but also do home visits. I have further qualifications in the use of therapeutic ultrasound and taping and strapping and recently qualified through the Wright Foundation to work with GP referral clients. As an extension from teaching I continue to work as an A level examiner and practical moderator for the AQA in Physical Education.
