Please fill in our REGISTER INTEREST and form and we’ll be in touch with you soon. 

Once you’ve completed the Register Interest form, we will be in touch to discuss your situation and help you decide the learning package which suits you – including sport and other course/s you’d like to include. We’ll also explain the next steps in our selection process.

Our acadamies hold Open Events and Trials throughout the year. But we’ll explain all this when you have completed the REGISTER INTEREST form.

We are part of Oaklands College. Our latest academy trials can be found on our EVENTS PAGE.

Please don’t worry. We know you love sport – and we can help you think about what other study is most appropriate for you to put alongside it. 

We are open to applications from outside the UK. Applicants will need to meet the following criteria or equivalent:

• Have achieved 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, subjects dependent on the chosen course (specific to the qualification, so equivalent to UK entry).
• Proof of proficiency in English language, i.e. IELTS 5.5, with at least 5.0 in each component, or equivalent.
• Application is subject to a Tier 4 visa.

Please complete our REGISTER INTEREST form initially and we can guide you from there.
