Sports Academies

As a member of the Sports Academy, there are opportunities to gain nationally recognised qualifications in sport whilst playing at local, county and national level. Each programme also covers employability skills to prepare students for future careers in their chosen sport or in the wider world of sport.

All of our Sports Academies at Durham Sixth Form Centre allow each and every student to develop their sporting talents to a level not normally supported in schools. We currently offer courses in Football and Golf.

Boys Football

The boys football academy is a fantastic opportunity to combine sporting performance and academic studies. Our collaborative partnership with Durham University allows us to train and play in some of the best facilities in the North East at Maiden Castle Sports Centre.
