LORNA STOCKWELL

Schools Manager

I joined the Northampton Town Football Club Community Trust in October 2023.

My role as Schools Manager is to manage the team of Education and Sport Mentors that are responsible for delivering both educational and sport-based programmes, mainly within primary schools across the county. I also support staff to deliver intervention groups.

I have always been in a people-facing role, whether it be coaching and mentoring, training and development or recruitment, and I have almost eight years’ experience in education.

I have a passion for SEN and looking at ways to support every child so they can get the best out of their education.

I’m looking forward to supporting and developing the staff so they deliver quality lessons with knowledge and enthusiasm.

I’m also very excited about developing myself alongside the team.
