Sports Academies

We currently run academies in basketball, football and cricket combined with studying for
a Level 3 vocational qualification in sport.  We are currently in talks with a new Rugby club so watch this space for news on that.

Our sports academies give students the opportunity to combine academic studies with playing high level competitive sport. Students compete against some of the best college/academy and league teams both regionally and nationally, as well as being able to potentially apply for scholarship opportunities in America and other countries.

The qualifications are delivered by our highly experienced PE teachers and consist of approximately 12 hours of teaching each week.  Alongside weekly competitive fixtures, all sports academy students receive several hours of high-quality specialist coaching weekly from professional coaches. The programme covers skills training, technical and tactical understanding, fitness training and sports leadership. Player fitness is regularly monitored through individual training plans including a focus on diet and nutrition.
Our facilities are excellent and include a large multi purpose sports hall that can host a whole magnitude of various sports, three outdoor MUGA courts and hard standing court all with floodlit lighting, dance studio, fully equipped gym and a climbing wall. We also have access to Chessington Cricket Club grounds, Chessington & Hook FC United football pitches and our shared sports ground at Somerset Avenue, Chessington.

If you have a talent and passion for sport, then our Sports Academy programme is your chance to continue developing that special interest whilst gaining a recognised academic qualification.
We look forward to welcoming you in person to our Sports Academy.
