Every applicant will receive:
- individual feedback from the Sport Scholarship assessment and interview
- feedback against the key scholarship criteria
- clear strengths and areas for development
- recommendations for future training and progression
- guidance on how to continue developing as an athlete
Every applicant leaves with useful feedback and clear next steps.
Sport Scholars may have opportunities to:
- set individual development goals
- access specialist coaching and feedback
- develop their understanding of strength, conditioning and recovery
- use performance analysis to improve
- learn more about sports science and nutrition
- access appropriate external sporting opportunities
- support younger athletes and contribute to College sport
- Sporting profile A short summary of their main sport(s), current team or club involvement, representative level and key achievements from the last 2 to 3 years.
- Coach or PE teacher reference Commenting on performance, commitment, teamwork, coachability and potential.
- Supporting evidence Selected results, rankings, certificates or short performance footage where appropriate.
- Practical assessment An observed session assessing technical ability, decision-making, athletic potential, teamwork and response to coaching.

To ensure they meet the College’s minimum entry requirements: - Academic record Most recent school reports, including Term 3 from the previous academic year and current-year reporting where available.
- CAT4 assessment Applicants will complete a CAT4 assessment organised by the College. CAT4 will help us understand the pupil’s cognitive profile and academic potential. It will be considered alongside all other evidence rather than used as a single scholarship threshold.
Our assessment looks beyond sporting performance to understand each pupil’s potential, approach to development and character as a young athlete.
