More about this site
Current and past learners have enjoyed sports representation at regional, international and some have also represented Great Britain. The college has an ethos that opportunities for “student athletes” do not get compromised. Learners have the opportunities to study any course or pathway that they chose, and the college has evidenced that they provide appropriate support, adaptations and mentoring so that students can fulfil their academic and sporting potential, and being granted the Tass Dual Athlete Accreditation is a testimony of this.
The college is the second FE College in Wales to achieve this accreditation and the programme aims to give personal development workshops, wellbeing support, lifestyle management, and the Dual Career Co-Ordinator and teaching team will provide flexibility to aid student athletes with their sporting commitments. Students’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at the college, and students will have the necessary support, care and guidance to ensure they maintain balance.
The college has created wonderful links and alliances with many National Governing Bodies and these include Table Tennis Wales, Basketball Wales, Wales Golf, and Welsh Athletics where we have recently set up an endurance Regional Development Programme. (RDP) The college also has superb transition links with local schools, local clubs and Active Merthyr.
