The Oaklands Wolves Sport Academies provide a unique opportunity for students aged 16–19 to combine full-time education with high-level sports training.

We work in partnership with various organisations and clubs to give young people the best possible development pathway both academically and athletically.

Your academic timetable will be structured to compliment your training schedule.

For example, if your lessons take place in the morning, training will be held in the afternoon—and vice versa.

The Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) is a nationally recognised programme offered at Oaklands Wolves, designed to help talented young athletes excel both academically and in their sport.
Funded by Sport England and delivered in partnership with national governing bodies, DiSE includes:

• High-performance coaching

• Lifestyle and wellbeing support

• Personal development sessions

• A Level 3 qualification (equivalent to an A-Level)

This programme is ideal for students competing at a high level who are on a recognised talent pathway in their sport. It also supports the development of essential off-field skills such as nutrition, sports psychology, training management, and career planning.

You’ll have access to a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities at Oaklands College.

Yes, our academies are inclusive and welcome a diverse range of students. 

For those with an EHCP, the College is required to follow a statutory ‘Consultation’ process to ensure a student’s needs can be met within the College.

We ask that students with any other additional needs that do not have an EHCP declare their needs so we can assess any provision required.
