ATHLETICS Academy.

For aspiring athletes in both track and field.

If you live, breathe and sleep athletics, then we’re the college for you.

You can study any of our full-time school leaver programmes in sport or any other subject, including A Levels and become a member of our Athletics Academy.

You’ll develop the knowledge and expertise you need to go on to university or straight into work or an apprenticeship and gain a nationally recognised qualification whilst training and competing every week to develop your athletics skills.
