SPORT
OVERVIEW
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 of our 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 also progressing their academic opportunities beyond school, Shrewsbury has recently established its sports academies programme. These programmes - provided at additional cost, aimed predominantly at Key Stages 4 and and 5 currently available for Golf, Tennis and Football - provide specialised support for performance development, academic and college counselling, strength and conditioning and more. Entrance into the Academy Programmes are subject to the schools normal admissions process, and Academy-specific enrolment procedures.
