Thomas Middlecott Academy

Thomas Middlecott Academy seeks to broaden the horizons of each and every student, helping them to achieve at the highest level both academically and through their talents outside the classroom.

Sport

Thomas Middlecott Academy is committed to sporting excellence.

Sport is an integral part of life at Thomas Middlecott Academy. The importance of sport at our school encompasses more than just the benefits of physical activity. It increases self-esteem, highlights the importance of teamwork and engages and motivates young people.

Whether it is supporting the running and organisation of a local event, competing against other schools or at high-profile David Ross Education Trusts sports tournaments, our students consistently show what sport means to them. Competing in high-quality fixtures, sports tours in Europe, funded trips to major tournaments and competitions both locally and nationally, all form part of the outstanding sporting provision at Thomas Middlecott Academy.

We are proud to have access to some of the best sporting facilities in the area:

A floodlit multi use games area
A sports centre
A fitness suite
Extensive playing fields
Three full sized football pitches

Our students have the chance to take part in a wide selection of extra-curricular sports clubs and competitions.

Thomas Middlecott Academy caters for a broad range of sports, from volleyball to athletics, badminton, cricket, cross-country running, football, netball, rounders, rowing, and rugby.

We now have a Sports Enrichment Officer to help with the delivery of our sports enrichment calendar. They are also responsible for organising fixtures and ensuring we are making the most of our incredible sporting facilities.
