Covid Update

On Tuesday 29 March, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, set out the next steps for living with COVID-19 in England from Friday 1 April.

Updated guidance advises:

  • Adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and no longer have a high temperature.
  • Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can return to college when they no longer have a high temperature, and are well enough to attend.
  • Adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice is 3 days.

For education and childcare settings from Friday 1 April:

  • Regular asymptomatic testing is no longer recommended in any education or childcare setting, including in SEND, alternative provision and children’s social care settings. Therefore, we will no longer be able to order test kits .

The Programme

      

        The original SGS Sports Academy, celebrating its 25th year in 2024, has
        earned a distinguished reputation as one of the premier College football
        academies nationwide. The Male Football Programme at SGS Sport provides
        athletes aged 16 and above with extensive opportunities to advance their
        athletic journey while pursuing academic studies at SGS College.
        Learners in the SGS Sport Male Football Academy benefit from up to 15
        hours of weekly contact time, encompassing on-field training sessions,
        gym-based Strength and Conditioning sessions, and broader athlete
        development sessions covering Psychology, Nutrition, and Brand Awareness
        throughout the season. Additionally, all learners receive three
        individual feedback sessions annually with their coaches, focusing on
        academic development, personal needs, and areas for improvement.
      

      

        The SGS Sport program also offers an extensive Sport Science and Medical
        package focused on injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
        This includes strength and conditioning sessions, sports rehab, sports
        massage, and pitch-side first aid and matchday emergency cover at the
        SGS WISE Campus. Each academy benefits from two strength and
        conditioning sessions per week, delivered by our coaches across our two
        performance gyms. Additionally, a dedicated team of sports rehab
        professionals is available to support athletes in case of injury. We
        also collaborate closely with the academic sports department to provide
        work experience opportunities for students, including sports massage
        services for sports academy learners. SGS College offers a dedicated ice
        bath facility for student use. Furthermore, there are various placement
        opportunities for university-level students in sports psychology,
        performance analysis, and strength and conditioning. For the 2024-25
        academic year, SGS College, in collaboration with the University of
        Gloucestershire, is launching a paid MSc studentship opportunity. These
        initiatives aim to develop SGS College into a centre of sporting
        excellence and research.
      

      

        The Male Football program kicks off each July with an extensive
        pre-season period, blending on-field sessions with team-building
        activities. During this phase, the Male Football programme competes
        against several professional academies including Fulham FC, Plymouth
        Argyle, Swindon Town, Cheltenham Town, Exeter City, Bristol Rovers, and
        Newport City. The main program runs from September to May, with academic
        timetables tailored to accommodate access to Sports Academy offerings.
        Training sessions for SGS Male Football occur on Monday, Tuesday, and
        Friday mornings, featuring a mix of individual, squad, and unit-based
        sessions.
      

      

        The SGS Sport Male Football programme offers a diverse range of
        competitive fixtures held on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings
        through various teams and competitions. On Wednesdays, the SGS Sport
        team competes in BUCS competitions for SGS College University-aged
        students, while the SGS Sport 1st team participates in the AoC Category
        1 League, with the 2nds and 3rds teams competing in the AoC Category 2
        league. Additionally, on Saturday mornings, SGS Sport fields a team in
        the South-West Counties Youth League for Under 17 athletes under the
        name of Mangotsfield United FC. Furthermore, several experienced players
        progress to play for partner clubs SGS Stoke Gifford United FC and
        Mangotsfield United FC. Leading up to Christmas, SGS Male Football also
        participates in the FA Youth Cup under the banner of Mangotsfield
        United. In recent years, the squad has reached the FA Youth Cup 1st
        round twice, facing professional outfits Plymouth Argyle FC at Home Park
        and Swindon Town FC at home.

        clubs such as Brighton & Hove Albion, Bristol City FC, AFC Bournemouth,
        and Sheffield United.

          "SGS! What a place, the college that made me. Coming to SGS College
          was the best decision I made for my career. The opportunities to play
          against Professional Clubs allowed me to fulfil my potential. This
          gave us loads of opportunities to be scouted and potentially sign for
          them. I was fortunate enough to have had these opportunities and
          eventually signed for Bristol City FC on a 2 year pro contract. The
          training and facilities at SGS are fantastic with a massive gym to
          work on strength and conditioning and 4 pitches for game days and
          Astro turfs. Not many colleges offer all of that in one." — Antoine
