These include basketball, cricket, football, gymnastics, golf, table tennis and volleyball academies. Ran by a team of highly qualified coaches including ex-professional players and Olympians, each academy offers specialist coaching to develop sporting excellence. Successful applicants will have nine hours of coaching, training and fixtures per week. Student Ambassador Scheme Students can join our fantastic Ambassador Scheme and get involved in a variety of College events such as open evenings, parents’ evenings and awards ceremonies. Being an Ambassador will allow your child to develop their confidence, meet new people, gain skills and develop their CV.
