Student Athlete Pathway

Support Designed for Driven Young Athletes

At Queen’s Online School, every athlete follows a learning pathway shaped around their training commitments and long-term goals. Rather than squeezing sport around school hours, we build a structure that adapts to the realities of high-performance life. Students stay motivated, organised and academically secure while pursuing excellence in their sport.

What Makes our Support Different:

Why Our Student Athlete Programme
Works

The demands of high-level sport and rigorous academics rarely align. Traditional schooling can force young athletes to choose — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Online schooling, properly tailored, gives you the freedom to train, compete and travel — without sacrificing education. Much like those highlighted on a leading online-school athlete programme, we believe performance and learning can co-exist. At Queen's Online School, we provide that balance.

Our Athlete Focused Offerings

Flexible Scheduling: Live lessons, recorded classes and a personalised timetable mean your academic work adapts to your training commitments but not the other way around. Miss a live session because of practice or competition? You can always catch up on your own time. This flexibility is central to making sport-school balance realistic.

Dedicated Mentoring: Each athlete is paired with a mentor who understands the demands of competitive sport. Our mentor support isn’t just academic, it includes guidance on managing workload, balancing rest, travel and study, and maintaining consistency despite a demanding schedule. This mirrors the personalised mentoring model used by top online athlete schools.

Holistic Care: Our programme draws inspiration from what’s known as a “High Performance Club” in the online-school athlete world combining academic support with performance-oriented resources: mindset coaching, sports psychology support, nutritional & lifestyle advice. This helps athletes meet both their learning goals and sporting potential.

Global Mobility & Continuity: For students who travel frequently for tournaments, training camps, or competitions (even international ones!), study continues seamlessly. All your child needs is internet access to stay enrolled, submit their work, and keep up with the curriculum. This simple portability guarantees continuity, no matter how their commitments change.

Personalised Academic Path & Future Planning: Even as an athlete, your education matters. We support full British-curriculum pathways: GCSE-level and beyond, with flexibility to choose subjects that suit your aspirations and schedule. With mentoring and tailored timetables, we help student-athletes stay on an academic trajectory that fits their long-term goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my training or competition clashes with live lessons?

No problem. Lessons are recorded and timetables are tailored. You catch up when you’re ready — at a time that suits you.

Great online school

I think Queen’s is great! Everyone is so kind and helpful and i feel like i’m getting a proper
education.

David Fletcher

Proper Education

It’s really helped me with my anxieties about the general school environment, and the platform as well as the INCREDIBLE teachers, have enabled me to get 8’s and 9’s in my GCSE assessments. I would 100% recommend this school to others who want to better their education, and feel more comfortable while doing so.

Emily Carter

Helped me with my anxieties

I enrolled at Queen’s because I was interested in doing biology and chemistry A-level.
The friendly and kind and very very supportive teachers there just honestly were always there to help and guide me through pretty much anything. From questions, I had about the actual lessons to problems and difficulties with the course.

They will always listen and be willing to advise you or actually spend the time to resolve the issue with me.
In conclusion, if you’re confused and not sure about what next step to take, and how on earth you’re going to study this and that on your own- which I was at the beginning. I feel like Cambridge online education is for you.
Thank you, for everything 🙂

Very Very Supportive

After our daughter was off-rolled because of her special needs we were desperately worried about our daughter missing out on an education giving her choices and opportunities in life. Now she couldn’t be happier, feeling challenged in a good way and learning a lot from the highly qualified teachers who all have a real passion for their subject and for teaching it. As parents we are now completely reassured that our daughter is not missing out on a great education. There is great communication with the school and the teachers and it’s a very caring school

Claire Jennings

Fantastic school

Following a period of sustained bullying which the state school our daughter was attending failed to deal with,  as parents we felt lost as to what to do next.  Luckily we found Queens online school which offers fantastic teaching over a wide range of subjects at affordable prices.  We are so grateful to Queens Online School for making our daughter happy again and for building her self-esteem.
