King Ecgbert School

King Ecgbert School has a proud tradition of students becoming elite athletes and achieving high academic standards, a tradition that we are keen to uphold and develop, to offer more young and talented athletes opportunities as they embark on a difficult balance of academic study and sporting success.

Noticeable alumni who have been supported in this proud tradition are Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Joe Root.

Our philosophy is that we want to maintain and enhance our support for young athletes as they manage their extensive training and academic workload. We want to ensure they leave us with excellent academic qualifications to support their future sporting careers.
