Pupils have the opportunity to compete for the School in regular fixtures; not only in the major team games but also in individual or small team sports. We run a full and high-quality fixture list and regularly achieve success against much larger schools.
Our staff are specialists, teaching the sports that they are passionate about and offering professional-level coaching for pupils at the top of their game.
We are delighted to introduce the Bethany Football Excellence Pathway. With our partners at Maidstone United Football Club, this pathway has been set up to target both UK and International pupils who aspire to become elite footballers whilst, at the same time, pursue a strong academic education. We recognise the significance of providing a comprehensive child centred education that nurtures both intellectual and physical aptitudes, and this pathway is tailored to achieve this.
Our Football Excellence Pathway is designed to build an exceptionally strong foundation for aspiring football talents. Initially open to UK and overseas boys aged 13 – 15 years old, it will also be expanded to include all ages and both sexes in the coming years.
Bethany run an elite swimming coaching programme for pupils who are competition swimmers and those who show potential in the pool.
Under the coaching regime of ex-Olympian, Lisa Chapman, who competed for Great Britain at the Athens Olympics, pupils attend up to two hours coaching a week to improve their stroke technique, water fitness and race performance.
Pupils have the option to swim before school and during lunchtimes too.
Our sports facilities include;
Scholarships are available at Bethany, for Year 7, Year 9 and Year 12 pupils who excel in one or multiple sports.
Sport scholarships at Bethany enable pupils to take their game to the next level – please contact the Registrar if you would like more details.
There is plenty of opportunity to attend one of our sports tours or skiing trips. In previous years we have taken trips to Malta, Holland, Valencia and Barcelona.
We are also proud supporters of the Tunbridge Wells Rugby Club.
