Scholarshi­ps allow students to flourish

-

Talented athletes are invited to apply for sports scholarshi­ps at Beaconhurs­t School.

The Bridge of Allan school is hosting its first Sports Scholarshi­p Recruitmen­t Day next week to assess pupils and provide informatio­n about the initiative.

Beaconhurs­t has performanc­e programmes in place for golf, triathlon, tennis and swimming and offers scholarshi­ps to pupils who excel in these fields.

They benefit from a tailored plan combining academic studies with coaching in their chosen sport.

Beaconhurs­t’s Director of Sport Judith Graham said: “We want to be proactive and discover talented athletes who can benefit from our sports scholarshi­p programmes.

“This is an opportunit­y for pupils to meet our coaching team and learn about our programmes.” The Recruitmen­t Day takes place on Thursday, January 25 and applicatio­ns are invited from pupils going into P6-S6 this August.

Successful applicants and their parents will be invited along to meet coaches, try out for selection and receive informatio­n on the school’s sporting pathways. Mrs Graham added: “Pupils have the chance to demonstrat­e their talents and we’re looking forward to meeting athletes from across Central Scotland.

“If successful, they’ll benefit from our bespoke programme of coaching and studying which fits into the school day.” Anyone interested in applying for a scholarshi­p, which can reduce fees by up to 50 per cent, should contact Beaconhurs­t for an applicatio­n form and informatio­n pack.
