Talented & Aspiring Programme

LEH’s TALENTED & ASPIRING ATHLETE PROGRAMME (TAP) is a unique initiative designed to support and nurture the dreams of our student-athletes. Whether your child is a sailor, gymnast, rower, netball player, or participates in another sport, TAP aims to provide a top-tier, development-focused environment that helps athletes take their performance to the next level.

The Programme is open to students in all year groups within the Senior School, offering them a tailored experience designed to foster growth and performance. Our goal is to give student-athletes the resources, mentorship, and support they need to excel in their chosen sport, whether at a national or regional level.

This initiative is available at no additional cost to parents (any activities with extra costs will be optional and communicated in advance). Pupils will be assessed based on their current engagement with sport, as well as their aspirations and goals.

How Students Can Get Involved

The TAP programme is open to all students, and we welcome all those who are committed to their sport and looking for the next level of support. Students wishing to apply for TAP should follow the application process outlined in the information shared with them. It is an ongoing programme and children can show interest at any time by emailing us HERE.

What to Expect

The programme offers two distinct tiers based on current engagement and future goals:

Tier 1: For athletes who are on, or near the national pathway and are committed to their sport year-round.
Tier 2: For athletes aiming to progress from regional or county representation, ideal for students starting to specialise while still exploring a variety of sports.

TAP will include a range of opportunities designed to support students’ physical, mental, and emotional development:

What’s involved?

TAP will include a range of opportunities designed to support students’ physical, mental, and emotional development:

Athletic Development

Regular strength and conditioning sessions (group or individual, one to two sessions per week).
Sessions available at lunchtime and before/after school.

Holistic Education

Workshops on key topics like Nutrition, Sports Psychology, and more, delivered by industry leaders and international athletes.
Integration of these workshops into the athletic development sessions, ensuring a well-rounded approach to their growth as athletes.

Sports Mentorship

One-on-one mentorship to develop personalised plans, identify performance gaps, and provide the necessary support to close those gaps.

Physiotherapy

Access to on-site physiotherapy during the school day, with rehabilitation plans available if needed (any additional costs will be discussed beforehand).

Additional Details

We truly believe this programme will offer a unique environment for students to bridge the gap to their elite performance goals. Our holistic approach could be the difference-maker for your daughter, ideal for those wanting to push their performance whilst still thriving academically.

All TAP sessions will finish before the late coaches depart, and if transportation to before-school sessions is an issue, we are happy to work with families to find solutions.

We are excited to support the growth and development of our talented athletes. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact us HERE.
