Sports Scholars

Congratulations to our new Sports Scholars who excelled during the assessment process to win their place on the programme.

Our Sports Scholarship programme now includes 11 elite athletes from Years 7 to 9, whose main sports include football, netball, dance, cross-country and gymnastics. All the athletes have been paired up with a member of the PE department to be their individual mentor; they will meet at least once a half term to discuss important areas such as time management, how to prepare effectively for competitions, and the importance of rest and recovery. The Sports Scholars are also joining the GDST Elite Scholars Day hosted by Sutton High School this month, taking part in a variety of theoretical and practical workshops led by ex-Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
