Talented Athlete Pathway

Talented Athlete Pathway (Sport) Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 12

Our Talented Athlete Pathway is for those pupils in the Senior School who have demonstrated a high level of achievement in the fundamental movement skills based on sprinting, endurance, agility, power and strength, as well as those identified by our heads of sports as being the top performers in two or more competitive school sports or who have been awarded a sport scholarship. These individuals are given access to specialist advice on all aspects of their development in sport, from skill specific coaching sessions, performance analysis, same day physiotherapy appointments for injury treatment and prevention, strength and conditioning, and nutritional advice, to progress them to be the best they can be at all sports, whilst ensuring that academic studies also remain a priority. We aim to provide a high level of support to these performance athletes so they can progress to their full potential.

Pupils who are on the Talented Athlete Pathway are expected to represent the School on the sports fields for Saturday and mid-week fixtures as well as being exemplary role models to other pupils around the School.

There are three levels of the TAP – Gold, Silver and Bronze, with those internal pupils becoming Gold TAP in the second half of year 9 gaining scholarship status in year 10.
