Sports Colleges

Specialist Sports Colleges use physical education and school sport to raise whole school standards and spread best practise. They aim to:
  • raise attainment for all students both in the specialist subjects and across the whole curriculum;
  • strengthen and develop the quality of teaching and learning strategies in the specialist subjects and use them to help raise standards throughout the school;
  • extend opportunities for vocational learning and enrichment activity through the specialist subjects, including through links with sponsors, business, employers, further and higher education institutions and organisations related to the specialism;
  • develop within the school, characteristics which signal its specialist ethos and identity and which are reflected in the school’s mission and objectives – including through encouragement of increased take-up and interest in the specialist subjects;
  • strengthen collaboration with partner schools to provide or facilitate high quality learning opportunities and outcomes in the specialist subjects – by sharing specialist facilities and resources, enhancing further the quality of teaching and developing and disseminating good practice;
  • provide or facilitate high quality learning opportunities and outcomes in specialist subjects for the school’s wider local community, including local businesses and employers.
