East Kent Cricket Academy

Our Sixth Form Open Evening will take place on Thursday 19th November. As this is always a very popular event, we run three separate booking slots throughout the evening to help us accommodate as many families as possible and ensure everyone has the opportunity to visit.

Booking slots will become available from 16th October. We would strongly recommend booking as soon as bookings open, as spaces can fill quickly.

We look forward to welcoming you and giving you the opportunity to find out more about our Sixth Form, meet our staff and students explore the fantastic opportunities available to our students.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Applications Open – 2nd November 2026

Applications Close – 30th June 2027

Entry Requirements –We do have entry recommendations for some courses, especially A-levels, as we would not want you to start a course that would not be suitable for you. We want to give you the best chance of future success.

The course programmes are flexible: students can mix Level 3 courses with Level 2 courses, or A-levels with BTECs. We provide impartial advice and guidance and seek to put you on the courses you want and are likely to be successful in.

Students are expected to study up to 3 A level equivalent subjects (this can be from either A levels and/or Level 3 BTEC subjects) building their own personalised combination of Level 3 subjects OR a full time Level 2 course.

The Sixth Form runs on a flexible timetable with some courses running until 6.00pm. This flexibility means we can offer as much as possible, to as many as possible, as often as possible.

How to Apply – Applications are currently closed. Please check back at the beginning of November to submit your application.

East Kent Cricket Academy

Our cricket academy has flourished in recent years. The programme is open to students at The Canterbury Academy and The Langton. In recent years, both schools have enjoyed considerable success in county competitions.

The Canterbury Academy have won the KSCA county cup for three years in a row and made the final of a national under 17 cup in 2022. The Langton have won the KSCA county cup regularly and won the KSCA League in 2024. Players on this academy receive regular coaching from coaches with experience in the professional game and Kent League cricket.

Training takes place in professional facilities at Polo Farm and Kent Cricket Club. We are considering providing a girls’ academy in future years to cater for the growth in the women’s’ game. Several players have represented their country in recent year and ex-Canterbury Academy student, Jaydn Denly was awarded with a professional contract by Kent Cricket in 2024.

In order to gain a place on this programme, players may be asked to trial and they will need to be playing regular club cricket. For more information, contact sport@canterbury.kent.sch.uk

Students are also required to apply for Sixth Form subjects that will be delivered alongside the Cricket Academy. More details on home page.
