WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

With over 20+ years of experience in sport we approach learning differently by embedding the key skills from sports into all we live and breathe. The SCL Way (Sport Centred Learning) is what makes us different, and the culture we have built is based around the physical and mental benefits of sport; creating a strong foundation to provide a lifelong learning pathway for every learner at SCL.

The world teaches resilience, mental strength and discipline and how we work together, win together and are stronger together. Our key sporting principles which form the SCL Way shapes high performing, adaptable and resilient individuals.

COMMUNICATION

High-Performance Learning emphasises prioritising effective communication at all levels to foster collaboration, meaningful discussions, and goal achievement among learners.

TEAMWORK

Exposing learners to collaborative projects and group activities fosters camaraderie, enhances teamwork, creativity, decision-making, and leveraging diverse perspectives for optimal outcomes.

RESILIENCE

Learners are taught to embrace challenges, view failures as opportunities for growth, and persevere in their pursuit of excellence.

COACHABILITY

Learners are receptive to feedback from coaches, educators, and mentors, and they actively seek opportunities to learn from others’ expertise.

COMPETITIVENESS

Healthy competition within our approach motivates learners to set personal goals, challenge themselves, and strive for excellence, fostering a drive for consistent high performance and growth.

PROFESSIONALISM

Professionalism is integral to the our learning approach, teaching learners respect, responsibility, and integrity to prepare them for successful careers and promote a positive learning environment.

MOTIVATION

The SCL Way emphasises motivation as the driving force for learners to discover their passions, set ambitious goals, and stay inspired throughout their educational journey.
