SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES

Part of the Sheltered Education Programme

We provide flexible and tailored educational support for student athletes who require a balance between their intense training schedules and their academic studies, ensuring that they can fulfil both commitments effectively, prioritising their overall wellbeing and maximising their abilities.

Programme structure

Initial Assessment:
We conduct an academic and personal assessment to identify each student's specific needs, including study skills, training schedules and academic competencies.

Requirements:
Presentation of family letter, certificate of participation from Club or Federation.

Personalised and Flexible Curriculum:

We develop an individualised study plan that includes:

  • Flexible and personalised class schedules.
  • Prioritisation of core subjects that match their academic level and the school's requirements.
  • Identification and prioritisation of the key subjects that are necessary for their training and that are aligned with their academic and sporting objectives.
  • Adjustment of the study plan.
  • Curricular adaptations according to need.
  • Support from the psycho-educational team.
  • Assignment of a tutor, who provides comprehensive support. 
  • Educational resources so they can study at their own pace.
  • Establish a peer mentoring system, where advanced students help their peers.
  • Rescheduling of examinations or assessments.
  • Use of alternative assessment methods such as projects, oral presentations or written assignments, instead of traditional examinations, to assess learning in a more flexible way.
  • Facilitate access to educational platforms where students can participate in interactive activities and assessments.

Welfare Integration:

Wellness programmes, where we incorporate activities that promote physical and emotional well-being.

We provide psychological and emotional support through a professional to help students manage stress, anxiety and workload.

Continuous Communication:

We maintain an open channel of communication between coaches, teachers, professionals and families to ensure that everyone is aware of the student's progress and any necessary adjustments to their programme.

Integration Activities:

We organise activities that promote social integration between athletes and other students, such as joint sports or community projects.

Periodic Review and Adjustments:

We hold monthly meetings to review students' academic and emotional progress, adjusting the programme as necessary.

Recognition and Celebration:

We implemented a recognition system for academic and sporting achievements, celebrating students' effort and dedication.

We invite all athletes to be part of this school support programme which aims to create an environment that enables high-performing athletes not only to excel in their discipline, but also to achieve their academic goals. With a flexible structure and resources tailored to their needs, the school can play a key role in their overall development.
