Individual Sports Programme 2020/21 Introduction Culford Sports Programmes provide a pathway to develop pupils at Foundation, Development, Performance and Elite levels through individual and small group lessons. Bespoke sessions supplement major sports and foster the key sporting attributes of confidence, resilience, and self-awareness as athletes also develop the sound technical and tactical knowledge in their chosen sport. Our goal is to produce dynamic, innovative, flexible and resilient sportsmen and women. We pride ourselves on taking an holistic approach to each individual. To this end, academic life is integrated with each pupil’s sporting aspirations. Culford’s unique approach has attracted the attention of American universities and a number of pupils in recent years have been awarded sports scholarships to study in the USA. 2 Culford Golf Academy 3 Culford Golf Academy The Golf Academy is an exciting sports programme at Culford as all our golfers have access to our first class golf studio.
