Sports Scholarships

Athlete Centred Education (ACE)

All Sports Scholarships are available to girls and boys equally.

All Sports Scholars are enrolled on the Sport ACE Programme which supports all athletes to become the best they can. Please see the Sport pages for further details of this programme.

Additionally, Judo, Gymnastics, Rugby, Football and Netball Scholars receive discipline-specific support and talent-development in their respective Academy programmes.

Students may apply for a General Sports Scholarship. While there will not be a specific Academy programme to support every particular sport, students will be enrolled on the ACE programme and the school will work with external organisations to help develop each individual.

85% scholarships are available for Sixth Form entry for Netball, Rugby and Football scholars. See below for further details.

You will have regularly attended training and will have already competed outside of school in local, regional, national or international matches or competitions.
