Education & life skills
Education
At Track Academy, we believe that as a young person’s athletic performance improves, their education should progress as well. Our aim is to help students build confidence to understand their work and develop the independence to complete it on their own.
Our Education programme runs twice a week:
Tuesday (4 pm – 5 pm): Study Support
This session gives young people the chance to get help with the subjects they are studying from basic coursework up to GCSE level.
Saturday (9 am – 11 am): Tuition
We provide tuition for both the multi-skills group (ages 5-10) and our mainstream group (ages 10-21). During these sessions, we focus on the topic and questions students find challenging, helping them understand the subjects clearly and build the confidence to work independently
There is no added charge for our educational support.
Life skills
We want our young people to be well prepared for adulthood, and so we hold sessions to equip them with the skills they need to succeed in the future. Throughout the year, we focus on ten key life skills, namely:
1. Listening
2. Presenting
3. Networking & social skills
4. Problem solving
5. Creativity
6. Staying ppositive
7. Aiming high
8. Discipline
9. Team working
10. Leadership
We hold regular sessions at the Willesden Sports Centre to cover these different areas of life. These could centre around CV writing, nutrition, finance and time management, with special guests often invited to share their own experiences. In addition, we hold visits to businesses across London so our young people can get a sense of what working life is like.
There is no extra charge for these sessions.
