MCS welcomes applications from pupils who believe they have considerable sporting potential and who would thrive on the combination of a first-class academic and sporting education.
Sports scholarships are available to both external and internal applicants at 13+ and 16+. For full details and an application form, please click the button below. Applications must be returned to the Registrar.
Awards are about potential rather than current performance levels. However, as a guide the following criteria can be used. To have a realistic chance of an award a candidate is likely to be doing one or a combination of the following:
- To be playing in their current school first team for most if not all sports
- To be playing a good standard of club sport and at least one sport to county level
Sport scholars require:
- a genuine love of sport
- speed, agility, balance and co-ordination
- sound understanding of tactical and technical aspects of the game
- a positive attitude to training and open-minded approach to coaching.
In return, award holders enjoy:
- top level coaching
- access to strength and conditioning programmes
- use of video analysis
- broad opportunities for a variety of sporting involvement
- a genuine interest in pupil development through individual mentoring.
Candidates will be encouraged to show particular potential in at least one of MCS’s focus sports. These are: rugby, football, hockey, cricket, rowing, netball or tennis.
It must be emphasised, however, that outstanding expertise in any sphere of sport will be considered. Candidates able to offer ability in a combination of sports are encouraged to apply, as are those who have outstanding potential in one sport.
