Elite Sport

Welcome to Elite Sport at CHS

Our Elite Sport Programme is aimed at students who have genuine aspirations to play elite or professional sport whilst fulfilling their academic potential. We are pleased to say that the ESP has helped to support student-athletes competing both nationally and internationally whilst still having excellent higher education options.

Using a personalised timetable, The ESP allows student-athletes to combine their 3 A Level choices with six additional sporting sessions. Within these sporting sessions they will receive Individual Development Plans that include one-on-one/small group Skill Acquisition & video analysis sessions with our professional sports coaches, Strength & Conditioning sessions with our dedicated S&C staff, and recovery sessions with our professional Yoga coach. This bespoke programme is designed to tie in with other sporting organisations the student-athlete may be linked with to ensure their long term development plan is cohesive & holistic and provides the best environment for them to flourish.
