16+ SPORT
Year 12 entry
The Sports Department offers scholarships to push the boundaries of talented individuals, maximising their enjoyment and performance in sport.
Sports scholars will, by definition, become role models for other Monkton students. Their actions will inspire and motivate others around them both inside and outside of a sports setting. An attitude that commits fully to developing in sport will result in positive behaviours around and outside the school that others will aspire to.
The programme will provide scholars with:
- Individually tailored programmes where appropriate
- Guidance in fundamental movement skills, nutrition, performance preparation and performance lifestyle
- Regular athletic profiling opportunities
- Access to specific talks and workshops
- Weekly group strength and conditioning sessions
Informal mentoring opportunities
The application deadline for 2027/2028 will be finalised shortly.
Entry Requirements
Outstanding performance in one of Monkton’s main sports, supported with strong performance or desire to contribute to the school’s programme of another.
A brief letter of application (ranking their top sports and explaining their wish to become a sport scholar) supported by a sporting CV.
