East Kent Hockey Academy

Applications Open – 3rd November 2025

Applications Close – 31st July 2026

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 – Please apply via Kent Choices.

East Kent Hockey Academy

The hockey academy is open to students from The Canterbury Academy and The Langton. Players receive skills training at Polo Farm and The Langton. The players also access regular hockey specific fitness in the outstanding fitness facilities at both schools.

Coaching is provided by experienced members of The Langton’s PE department who have excellent links with Kent hockey clubs. The Langton have an excellent track record in developing high performing hockey teams and the numbers of Sixth Form hockey players at The Canterbury Academy are growing every year.

In order to get a place on the programme, students need to be playing regular hockey at the weekends. 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 Hockey Academy. More details on home page.
