## What is the Performance Pathway?
A premium pathway that gives committed students the structured coaching and support to improve their sporting performance.
P4-IB2
Open to committed students right across the school
Two Tiers
Foundation and Momentum, so families choose the level of commitment
High Commitment
Built for students serious about improving their athletic performance
## The need for this pathway
Sport has always been one of Haut-Lac's strengths, and our students are asking for more of it. Many already train seriously outside school and want to push further, so there is a growing need for a structured framework that supports that ambition within school life.
The Sports Performance Pathway fills that gap. It sits alongside our Student-Athlete Programme, which continues exactly as before, and opens up expert coaching to any committed student ready to invest in their development.
## How it fits with the Student-Athlete Programme
Included in school fees
### Student-Athlete Programme
For students already competing at cantonal, national or international level. Nothing changes for them.
Optional · Fee-paying
### Sports Performance Pathway
For students who want to invest extra time in their development, whatever their current level.
There's no obligation for recognised student-athletes to join, and joining the Pathway doesn't make a student a recognised athlete. We simply hope some of today's Pathway students become tomorrow's student-athletes.

No core-subject clashes
Timetabling is reviewed to protect academic lessons.

## FAQs
## For parents
Does this replace my child's external club?
No. It builds the athletic foundations — strength, mindset and nutrition — that support performance in any sport.
Will it affect my child's academics?
Sessions avoid core subjects and rotate on a three week basis, so the same lesson is never repeatedly missed. For example, students may attend their first session on a Friday, their second on a Monday and their third on a Tuesday, before starting the cycle again.
How is this different from the Student-Athlete Programme?
That programme is included in fees for recognised high-level athletes. The Pathway is optional and open to all committed students.
How are fees paid?
Annually, in line with standard school billing. The sign-up form confirms the exact schedule.
What if my child withdraws or wants to switch tiers?
Fees already paid aren't refundable on withdrawal. Switching tiers is possible during the year, subject to availability, with fees adjusted pro-rata.
Can my child join after the launch?
Yes, students are placed on the waiting list once the Autumn intake closes, with pro-rata fees for mid-year joiners.
Is there medical screening?
Every student completes a short health questionnaire before starting, and any concern is discussed with the family first.
How is progress reported?
Every athlete is tested at the start and end of each term and receives an individual report on results, progress and areas to develop.
## For students & staff
Will I miss my lessons?
Never core subjects, and the rotation means you won't repeatedly miss the same class.
Do I need to be elite to join?
No. It's open to any committed student who wants to improve.
What if I've never trained in a gym before?
No experience needed. Small groups mean you start at the right level and build from there.
What's expected of me if I join?
A genuine commitment to attend your scheduled sessions and engage fully. The more consistently you turn up, the more you'll get out of it. You are also expected to catch up with any key academic work which is missed.
