Sport
Focus on the best? Or develop the rest? People often think it has to be one or the other, especially in sport. In fact you can have both – and at Colfe’s we do.
We encourage our sixth-formers to get involved, whether it’s developing their passion or an opportunity to try something new. There is something for everyone here. Netball, rugby, hockey, swimming, cricket, football, athletics, cross-country, tennis and biathlon – all are open to every pupil. We value talent, attainment and hard work – in sports as much as academic work – helping you to develop the personal qualities of team work, self discipline and organisation. Valuable skills for your life after Colfe’s.
Sport Scholarships – Year 12
Sport scholarships are offered in Year 12. In order to be considered for a Sport scholarship the candidate must have met the academic requirements for admission to Colfe’s.
Assessments take place in December for Year 12 entry. As well as ability, we look for potential and enthusiasm and at both levels we expect fitness appropriate for an elite sports performer.
