Sports Excellence

We aim to inspire and support every pupil on their sporting journey by helping them become confident, well-rounded performers and providing them with the tools they need to excel in their sport.

The school’s sporting framework embraces the progression, from participation to performance, and is built around up-to-date research surrounding youth athletic development.

This pathway allows us to offer outstanding opportunities for all students and develop both physical and personal qualities. Ultimately, the goal is to allow students to achieve their desired level of health, fitness and performance during and after school, and, we hope, a lifelong passion for physical activity.

For students who wish to progress their sporting development to the highest level, perhaps in the form of college scholarships as a means of progressing their academic opportunities, Shrewsbury has recently established its sports academy programme. These programmes, provided at additional cost and aimed predominantly at Key Stages 4 and 5, are currently available for Golf, Tennis and Football. They provide specialised support for performance development, strength and conditioning, academic and college counselling, and more. Entrance into the Academy Programmes are subject to the school’s normal admissions process, and Academy-specific enrolment procedures.

Shrewsbury’s Sports Pathway

It’s well-established that students develop at different rates, and we believe all students should have access to a positive and stimulating training environment. To provide a pathway through school, students will move through four main phases of training. While fluid in nature, each phase provides a framework from which to build upon and ensure continual progression.

Phase 1

Foundation

The focus of the foundation phase is fun and general athletic preparation. Sessions are movement and game-based, with an emphasis on engagement and technique. This is where the foundation for future training is built.

Phase 2

Development

The development stage sees a shift towards the introduction of more complex and weighted movements. The skills learnt in the foundation phase enable training to take on a more structured approach while maintaining the key elements of technique and fun.

Phase 3

Performance

During the performance stage, the abilities developed in the previous stages allow training to more directly mirror an athlete’s chosen sport and improve the physical qualities needed for them to excel.

Phase 4

Peak

The final stage sees training become highly individualised, with the goal of optimising the exact physical qualities needed to improve an athlete’s performance.

Competitive Sport

Competitive sport runs via our representative teams and academies and is delivered both in addition and parallel to our participatory You-Time activities.

Our distinguished coaches support and guide students towards participation in top-level competition against other schools in Bangkok and across the South East Asia region. Those students wishing to become part of an academy or represent school teams are required to demonstrate commitment, dedication and sportsmanship throughout the season.

Team selection is carried out in accordance with our selection policy. All student athletes must attend try-outs in order to be selected for the seasonal team. For the sake of equal opportunities and transparency of policy, there can be no exceptions. If a student is absent or is injured at the time of try-outs, his/her parents must contact the Sport and Activities Office to arrange a suitable alternative time.

Competition & Seasons

The main regular competition for our sports teams is against local international schools that are members of BISA (Bangkok International Schools Association). The BISA schedule includes weekly matches followed by end-of-season tournaments in most sports.

There are four BISA seasons in each academic year, each approximately eight weeks in length, for five age groups.

The School is also part of FOBISIA (Federation of British Schools in Asia), giving opportunities for our selected young athletes to represent the school in competitions throughout the region, both at home and away.
