The TADA programme is awarded on entry to Year 7 and Year 8. This is a Talented Athlete Development Award to nurture and recognise early talent in the lower school.
Sports Scholarships are awarded on entry into Year 9 and Year 12 and are designed to further develop skills and talents during their time at Stamford.
Talented Athlete Development Award (TADA)
As part of the TADA programme, Year 7 and Year 8 students undertake a physical screening to assess their movement efficiencies via a 'Functional Movement Systems’ programme. Once assessed, students are provided with a series of movement ‘correctives’ so that they can develop their physical competency.
In Years 7 and 8 students will be working on a mental skills curriculum, an innovative initiative developed to help them develop mental resilience, goal-setting strategies and courage. Students will receive weekly talks and mini lectures on leadership, captaincy, sleep and nutrition.
Sports Scholars in Years 9 – 11 focus on the development of their physical skills. Scholars receive sport-specific coaching (relevant to their Scholarship) once per half term.
Scholars also receive more advanced strength and conditioning coaching centred around tailored, individual development plans. Scholars begin to learn the essence of sports performance psychology to aid their development and can access lectures and talks on injury prevention and effective recovery.
Sports Scholars in the Sixth Form receive all the same physical development as those in Years 9 – 11 but with a much more tailored focus. Sixth Form Scholars will be able to access performance pathway advice from all the national governing bodies, to assist with their performance aspirations.
They will also have the opportunity to visit high, performance athletic institutions such as Loughborough University, informing their knowledge of high-performance sport and giving them an insight into what life after Stamford may hold.
