Keiran is the founder and owner of Montagu Academy as well as one of its Lead coaches. He has a significant background in sport, both as a player and coach. In tennis, he represented Gloucestershire, the West Midlands and Great Britain Catholic Schools as a junior and went on to captain the University of Liverpool Men’s tennis team. During his time in Liverpool, he achieved a degree in History and reached the last 16 of the British Students Championships on two occasions. He holds a CCA Performance Coach (UKCC Level 4) qualification in tennis and has, over the years, gained further qualifications in a variety of sports. 

Prior to the formation of Montagu Academy, Keiran was the Director of Extended School at St. Peter’s RC High school and established many successful partnerships throughout the community. The creation of St Peter’s Tennis Academy occurred under Keiran’s leadership and culminated in placing as the 5th ranked school in the UK, all over a 10-year period. He has also coached tennis to junior International level.

In 2013, Primary School sport was founded under the St. Peter’s banner and over the first two years, the programme saw coaches delivering sport in 15 primary schools across the County. It was the growth and development of this programme that would eventually create the blueprint for Montagu Academy itself.

Away from his work, Keiran likes to travel and his other hobbies include playing and following football – he is a Liverpool FC season ticket holder. 

Allan is a Lead Coach and comes to Montagu Academy from a background as a professional football player and coach. He currently holds a UEFA B FA Level 3 football qualification as well as supplementary sporting qualifications. His specialist area is football and teaches both goalkeeping and outfield. In addition to working with Montagu Academy, Allan also coaches and scouts for West Bromwich FC, Aston Villa FC and most recently Chelsea FC. He has a passion for grass roots sport, has consistently scouted, and developed players to Academy level and beyond. This is mainly through his own independent goalkeeping academy, which has produced 37 goalkeepers who have gone on to play at professional clubs.

When he is not producing top quality footballers, Allan’s hobbies include travelling the UK in his motorhome, being a devoted Grandad (!) to his various Grandchildren and maintaining and managing his properties!
