Elite Performance Pathway

The Elite Performance Pathway (EPP) is a programme designed to further support the development and progression of the most gifted and talented athletes to achieve sporting excellence.

We aim to provide our students with the support necessary to become strong university scholarship candidates and to progress into higher-level sport beyond school.

The EPP is designed to support talented student-athletes in balancing the demands of sport and education. The programme develops not only physical and technical ability but also the mental, emotional, and personal skills required to succeed both in and out of sport.

We strive to prepare young people to become resilient, self-aware, and well-rounded individuals who can thrive in high-performance environments.

Kennedy joined the Elite Performance Programme in its very first year in 2022. At the same time she was competing in the British Water Polo League and had qualified for the Junior Olympics. Within school she made her mark in the pool, representing the swim team and going on to set six school records in the U14 and Junior Swim categories. Her commitment and talent extended beyond swimming as she also represented the school in athletics and volleyball, showing her ability to excel across a range of sports.

Izzy: Football and Basketball

Izzy joined the programme in 2022 while playing for Brentford Women’s Football Club. A long-standing member of the school community, she became a key player in both the Varsity Football and Basketball teams. Her commitment and impact were recognised that same year when she won a gold medal at the Girls Football ISAA Tournament and was named Outstanding Athlete of the Year. Izzy’s journey reached an exciting new chapter when she earned a full sports scholarship to St Leo University in the USA.

Sam: Figure Skating

Sam joined the programme in 2022 as a national-level figure skater. Even after suffering a serious injury, he showed remarkable resilience, committing himself to training and rehabilitation with the goal of returning to the highest level of competition. His impact went far beyond sport. Sam was a highly valued member of the school community, founding several clubs and committees and serving as Head Hawk. His leadership and dedication were recognised when he was named Valedictorian and awarded Outstanding Athlete of the Year in 2025.

Selim: Taekwondo

Selim joined the Elite Performance Programme in 2023 as a national-level Taekwondo athlete. After suffering a major back injury, he has shown determination and patience in his recovery, aiming to return to competition in late 2025. Beyond his own training, Selim has become a valued member of the team and a role model for younger students. Whether in the gym or speaking at school events, he champions the programme and highlights the importance of sport and living a healthy lifestyle.

Zaid: Athletics

Zaid became a member of the Elite Performance Programme in 2025. Although he had not competed in athletics before, he quickly rose through the ranks, representing both his club at regional meets and his school in competition. His progress was highlighted by a standout performance at the ISAA Athletics Championships in Eindhoven in 2025, where he won three gold medals.

Hina was one of the original members of the Elite Performance Programme, joining in 2022 while still in Grade 6. Despite her young age, she has already represented the school at Varsity level for the past two years, winning a silver medal in the Girls Singles in 2025. Beyond school, she competes for her club at both Women’s and U18 County level and takes part in National Level Grade 2 Tournaments across the country, showing her talent and determination on a larger stage.

After a strong 2023 track season, Moritz joined the Elite Performance Programme the following year. He now holds five school records across the U14 and Junior categories and competes in athletics and cross country for both his club and the school.
