Secondary Education Packages
Our secondary education services support children and young people as they navigate education and early adulthood.
Our Alternative Sport Pathway allows Years 7-11 learners to earn a BTEC qualification and progress into further education, apprenticeships, or employment.
The Cardiff City Alternative Sport Pathway offers the perfect balance between classroom-based learning and practical activities. Delivered on a full-time basis, the course is designed for students in Years 7-11 with a passion for sport, fitness, and hands-on learning.
This unique pathway combines professional sports coaching, academic development, and personal enrichment in a supportive, non-traditional learning setting. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where every student can thrive, offering smaller class sizes and personalised 1:1 support.
Our dedicated tutors work closely with each learner to understand their individual needs, helping them progress into further education, apprenticeships, or employment.
Our Alternative Provision is ideal for learners who benefit from a more practical, vocational approach and thrive in an engaging, inclusive setting.
Students will also have the opportunity to work alongside our Veterans at the Cardiff City FC Memorial Garden and collaborate with partners from the construction, engineering, and broadcasting industries.
