The High Performance (TASS) tier is specifically designed to support students who are aiming for a professional sporting career alongside a dual-career education. Students who currently compete at a National or International level in their respective sport will qualify for this tier of provision (Academy-signed footballers included).

As a school, we fully understand the demands of high level competition and aim to support those individuals so that they don’t have to sacrifice their education in order to succeed in their chosen sporting field. We acknowledge the pressure of managing the demands of an elite training regime and have put the following provisions in place to support students learning and training equally.

As a High Performance (TASS) Student you will gain the following provision:

• Dual Career Mentoring – Each student will be assigned a personal tutor for extra support and guidance along with Sport Scholarships advice.
• Scientific Anthropometric testing & Maturation Screening – TASS trips with Universities to gain state-of-the-art testing in scientific labs.
