Glasgow School of Sport 1.33

Specialist sports pupils are fully integrated with the school and follow a balanced curriculum of academic studies together with their sports specialism. Sports pupils receive coaching within the school day, which is carefully timetabled around their academic subjects such as Mathematics and English.

Specialist provision is intended to ensure that such pupils are given the best opportunity to develop their sporting talents as part of their School Education. Great care is taken to provide pupils with every opportunity to maximise not only their sporting but also their academic potential.

The School of Sport has five sports specialisms, athletics, badminton, gymnastics, hockey and swimming. Pupils specialise in one sport and entry to the School of Sport is by selection only.

The School of Sport offers one of the best high performance coaching teams in the country. These coaches have competed or coached at a national level in their sport and many have received top coaching awards. The high performance coaching team develops and delivers individualised programmes to pupils
