For schools

Every player in your school teams, seen and developed.

GoFathom gives your coaches a quick, approved way to send feedback to every player in every squad, with parents seeing progress as it happens.

Your coaches see more than any report can show.

Every training session and fixture is full of insight about how each player is developing. GoFathom makes sure it reaches the player, the parent and the next coach.

  1. Reach every player

    Give every member of every squad individual feedback, not just the first team.

  2. Show parents the progress

    Give parents a clear view of how their player is developing in sport, just as they have in the classroom.

  3. Track sport like any subject

    Record progress on the pitch, in the pool or at a fixture, in a format built for sport.

  4. Stay within safeguarding

    Share feedback with players and parents through a channel your safeguarding lead can approve.

Develop Every Player. Beyond the Session.

GoFathom is a Continuous Player Development platform. It connects coach, player and parent around one growing record of every player's development, so the insight from training and fixtures lands and stays.

How GoFathom helps

1 · Engagement

See which students are switched on.

The Engagement Dashboard shows staff how every student is using GoFathom: who posts reflections, who checks in before and after sessions, and who shares their own clips and questions. It shows you who is driving their own improvement, and who has gone quiet and needs a nudge. Every post a student shares is flagged so it receives a response. Parents see feedback the moment it is sent, with access for second parents and grandparents, so they can reinforce coaching at home.

2 · Feedback

Individual feedback for every player, in seconds.

GoFathom fits how your staff already work. Post feedback straight to a player by voice note, video, photo, text or external link, or build it up through the week with quick internal notes, typed, spoken or picked from your school's Note Bank of saved statements, and let Coach AI turn them into clear, actionable feedback and reports. Smart ordering prompts coaches through the squad so no player is missed, and everything sits on a filterable timeline. Individual feedback for every member of every squad, something that was never realistic in the time staff have.

3 · Wellbeing

Support the player behind the performance.

Before each session, players check in on sleep, mood, body state and motivation; afterwards they capture mood, effort and enjoyment, without having to say it out loud. Staff gain the context to act on a whole player perspective, not just performance on the pitch, and school sport connects with your pastoral care.

4 · Assessment

Every test and stat, recorded and shared.

Bleep tests, flexibility, high jump heights, bowling speeds: the results your coaches and S&C staff used to keep on a spreadsheet, in a notebook or on a whiteboard now go straight into GoFathom. Record them on the move in the mobile app, then share them with the player straight away, showing their latest score against their own previous best and against their group. Leaderboards make progress visible, so players can see where they stand and want to climb.

5 · Reflection

Players take part in their own development.

Players capture their own reflections on performance, progress and achievements, on their own initiative or when prompted by the coach. Each reflection builds on the coach's feedback and sits on the same timeline, so players become active in their development and staff see a more complete picture of every player.

Safety · Platform condition

Built for safeguarding.

GoFathom is one structured, compliant channel managed by the school, replacing personal messaging. Data is stored in the UK, no player contact details are exposed, parents decide whether players aged 13 and over can view their own feedback, and coaches control commenting. It is built for your safeguarding lead to approve.

A term with GoFathom.

  1. Set up

    Your director of sport, or the head of each individual sport, sets up the groups. Parents register, and their children join those groups.

  2. Training and fixtures

    Coaches log observations via text, voice note or the internal Note Bank, AI summarises in one click and feedback can be shared with players.

  3. At home

    Parents and grandparents see the feedback. The player reads it and responds.

  4. End of term

    Progress sits on every player's timeline, ready for reports and parents' evenings.

Every sport and activity. Cricket, football, rugby, netball, hockey, tennis, swimming, athletics, dance, music and more. On iOS, Android, tablet and web, to fit your school's device rules.

Used by schools like yours.

Client story
Instead of managing conversations across multiple platforms, everything is now centralised in one place. The players themselves are enthusiastic about the platform.”
Chris StockdaleImpact Elite Coaching
Featured testimonial
Since we started using GoFathom, a lot of the more mature and better players have started to bring their own views into the development, and they're more receptive to change. Giving pupils the ability to reflect is going to be pretty powerful.”
