Sport, Fitness & Uniformed Services

The Sport, Fitness & Uniformed Services Department at Barnfield is one of the best in the country attracting students from all over the region and even internationally. We are a vibrant team who have a lot of fun.

Recent awards for the team have included:
Football League Winners of the East Premier League

Two students have been nominated for the Big Skill Awards 2009 to be held on 9 June in Bedford. Good luck to both. One of the Luton Town Football Club Apprentices has received a full football scholarship in the USA.

Progression and Employment

Students from this department have gone on to achieve many higher qualifications - including Foundation and Honours Degrees - as well as jobs within some of the town's top employers. One ex-student is working as a Personal Trainer at Lords Cricket Ground.

We also have students working at David Lloyds, Bannatynes and a one is a Manager at Fitness First. Many of our students also work within Active Luton, coaching able-bodied and disabled children.

The Barnfield Experience

Tracy McFadden, currently studying on Level 3 Sports Therapy, says "While studying at Barnfield I have been given the opportunity to become a student rep and a Student Governor. This has given me the chance to put forward the views of my co-students.

"With the support from Barnfield and my tutors throughout my studies, it has allowed me to achieve my goals and look forward to a brighter future."
