Excellence in Sport 

Key Dates and Information 

From September 2025:
One morning (Thursday) every week Year 7 JSA are out of form time for strength & conditioning, games for understanding, technical skill development session (8:25-9:00am). There is also a morning club starting at 7:45am on this day which we encourage all JSA students to attend.

Thursday 18th September 2025:
Parent and Student Information Evening (5.45pm-6:30pm): An Introduction to the JSA programme, goal setting, nutrition, strength and conditioning, sport psychology.
After October Half Term there will be a fitness re-testing and a fitness evaluation process which will help each student set fitness targets for the year. Students not in the JSA programme and excelling will be considered for selection to the JSA programme. Students not committing to 4 extra-curricular sessions a week or upholding the whole school standards* will leave the JSA programme (This has not happened yet amongst Year 7 students as they are hugely motivated by the programme).

*Year 7 JSA standards/Expectations: Commitment to JSA and extra-curricular sport sessions (four clubs each week), attitude and behaviour in PE and whole school is excellent and a positive example to others.

When JSA students go into Year 8 and 9 we ask they attend at least three clubs a week and for Year 10 it is two clubs each week. These clubs can be before school, at lunch or after school (a school fixture would also count as one of their clubs in a week).
