Please see below the opportunity for Year 11 Students with this Unique and Bespoke Football & Education Programme.
Please can I make you aware of the support Qualitas can potentially offer to students on Results Day who may have not quite got the grades for their preferred post-16 course/s. I can be contacted on Results Day by both phone and e-mail and will be able to provide information directly to students, families and school staff if our post-16 offer may be of interest.
Please see my contact details – Mobile 07572 645058 and john.knapper@qualitassport.co.uk.

For the BTEC Level 3 course you will need 5 GCSEs at grades 4-9, including, ideally both English Language and Maths to support your future progression plans we recommend both subjects at Grade 4; if not, one can be at grade 4 and the other must be Grade 3
Our two-year Level 3 Sport course is BTEC/NCFE accredited and run by VL(UK) and is based at Graves Health & Sports Centre, incorporating a two-year Football Programme, training at St. George’s Park (SGP) Graves. The Enrichment side of the course from Qualitas is unrivalled, unique & bespoke and provides opportunities for all students to gain valuable work experience with both Qualitas and Graves Health & Sports, which, alongside the Level 3 qualification, allows students to be in a very strong position post-18 to be employable in the wider sports and leisure industry. The course is suitable for football players of good ability and good learners and as emphasised as Unique and unrivalled giving all learners the opportunity to ahead of many of a similar age.
Please let me know if you would like any further information about the support we can offer on Results Day or if you would like me to give you a call to discuss ways in which Qualitas can support your school’s careers provision.
We are currently in the process of becoming a registered provider on Sheffield Progress and will have a much higher profile across Sheffield in the next academic year.
Qualitas Sport has over 80 full time and part time delivering PE and 42 different sports into schools up to the age of 11 years across in the North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire area and have a thriving Football Scholarship Programme.
Qualitas can help provide and also assist in developing the infrastructure required to make these new initiatives be of real value.
Who are Qualitas and what are our key drivers and objectives?
Providing educational physical literacy alongside professional instruction and opportunity are some of our key objectives at Qualitas, thereby providing a structure capable of enabling a whole variety of individual teaching, coaching and exercise strategies to be developed and implemented, with the sole objective of supporting children in school to achieve their own individual sporting objectives.
Qualitas can help develop a bright and visible development pathway for all children, individually geared to their own requirements and personal ambition. Additionally, the growing interest in the concept of health and well-being is becoming increasingly important to both participants and schools, so allowing our sports science team to support children on both an individual and collective basis. This remains a key component of our future vision and own corporate development.
Qualitas is committed to building successful partnerships, providing the very best coaching and support, combined with the potential for maximizing individual opportunity, and each schools’ individual interests and passions are an essential ingredient in making the partnership both successful and viable.
One of the cornerstones of the Qualitas philosophy is that we believe that it is our responsibility to contribute towards the attainment of personal and collective aspirations, and to help provide a sporting legacy for all. After all, ‘children become parents, who have children of their own, and who then start their own Educational, Activity and Sport Pathway’.
We work with a variety of elite athletes and professionals such as Dwain Chambers, Paul Greaves, Dr Rebecca Trikić and the various members of the Qualitas team, each responsible for sharing their experience and best practices.
Qualitas will endeavour to continue its philosophy of providing an outstanding contribution to various new mental health interventions and PE sports provisions, holiday activity camps and with the support of forging MOU’s with Sheffield Hallam & Derby University.
