Strode's College

academic and athletic progress should be supported in equal measure, and students should not have to sacrifice one for the other

Established as a sixth form college in 1975, Strode’s College aims to provide a blend of tradition with modern facilities. Courses are led by expert teachers, with extensive experience in their fields both academically and vocationally. We believe that academic and athletic progress should be supported in equal measure, and students should not have to sacrifice one for the other. Being a TASS Dual Career Accredited centre is official recognition that we understand and promote the support, as well as the flexibility that young athletes in this position require, while helping them to develop the necessary skills to manage their commitments.
