Sports Development Programme Bede’s is committed to providing quality support and provision to all our athletes who are looking to become elite sports people through our Sports Development Programme. Open to all Sports Scholars, our Sports Scholars’ Development Programme focuses on the individual and holistic development of our athletes, offering a range of workshops in addition to the technical and tactical sessions they receive in our Sport Academies and activities. Elements of psychology, nutrition, lifestyle management and additional physical support form the core of the programme.
“We have access to a huge range of games and opportunities, leading to national and county representation. The Sports offer was a big factor in my decision to stay on at Bede’s for Sixth Form, as it was too good a chance to turn down.” Seb, Upper Sixth
Scholars in our three Core Sports (Cricket, Football and Hockey) have the opportunity for contact time with our expert coaches during Academy and activity sessions across all three terms. Bede’s sports offering has been built on pupils’ needs and feedback over many years, and as such is unique from other independent schools. Pupils are able to specialise in one sport, or play two alongside each other depending on their preference.
