ESP: Elite Sporting Potential

At Bosworth we aim to support students who aspire to reach elite status (national, international and/or professional level) in their chosen sports. These students tend to commit a significant proportion of the week travelling to and recovering from training sessions and competitions.

Our ESP programme is designed to provide each ESP student with bespoke support which includes having a designated trained mentor who can liaise with the attendance team and different subject areas to ensure that students are able to balance their sporting aspirations with school work. This can include more flexible timetabling arrangements where necessary.

The ESP students also benefit from being invited to workshops and masterclasses tailored towards reaching their potential in sport and we actively nominate students from this group for national talent identification camps and recognition for awards.

Previous graduates from this programme (formerly the Junior Athlete Education Programme) include England Women’s Rugby World Cup Winner and captain of the Team GB Women’s Rugby 7s team at the 2016 Rio Olympics Emily Scarratt.
