Sporting Excellence Programme

We are absolutely thrilled to launch our brand new Sporting Excellence Programme for students joining our Sixth Form in September 2026.

At Crossley Heath, we are incredibly proud of the significant proportion of our students who balance their studies alongside sporting success. This prestigious two-year programme has been designed to ensure our most talented and ambitious student athletes do not have to choose between academic excellence and sporting ambition. They can achieve both.

Delivered in partnership with Leeds Beckett University, and supported by elite athletes, coaches and mentors, the programme will include:

• A financial scholarship to support sporting development

• Dedicated coaching oversight and weekly strength and conditioning

• Academic workshops on a range of topics including dual careers, nutrition, sport psychology and more

• Mentorship from alumni athletes and elite sport professionals, including experienced coaches and Olympians

• Access to university-level sport science equipment and performance environments

• A personalised development plan tailored to each athlete

....and more!

We will select just 8 to 12 students for our first cohort, with places limited and selection competitive. Applications are now open to both internal and external Sixth Form applicants and close on Monday 13th April 2026.
