The scholarships for September 2025, offer students access to high-quality coaching in football, rugby and netball, specialist training, and a tailored development pathway, all while continuing their academic studies at Wath Academy’s Ofsted-rated Outstanding Sixth Form.

The Academy is aiming to launch a Cricket Scholarship for 2026 to join Wath Academy’s growing portfolio of sports programmes. The initiatives reflect the academy’s commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for student-athletes to thrive both on and off the field.

Liam Ransome, principal of Wath Academy, said: “We are thrilled to once again be offering a suite of Sporting Scholarship Programmes to enable our students to gain an exceptional sporting experience whilst conducting their academic studies”.

“Our Scholarship Programmes provide a structured and aspirational route for talented young players to develop their skills while receiving an outstanding education.”

The programmes are open to Sixth Form students and will include access to expert coaching, strength and conditioning support, and competitive fixtures. Students will benefit from Wath Academy’s excellent facilities and a holistic approach that balances sporting ambition with academic success.

The scholarships further strengthen Wath Academy’s reputation as a centre of sporting excellence within the state school system.
