Track Academy

21/08/2026

At Track Academy, we celebrate successes both on and off the track. The first pic is of our Saturday school which then creates the smiles when they get their grades.

To all our athletes picking up exam results, we're proud of you.

We're also proud of the support our tutors, mentors and staff team offer. 61% of our young people say their education has improved since joining us. 94% say they've developed new skills that help them in and out of school.

For young people who face barriers, education isn't just a route to a grade. It's a route to choice, opportunity and independence.

We exist to help young people break down those barriers and build futures they're proud of. On the track, in the classroom and beyond.

Our very own Coach Lumar is featured in the new issue of Like the Wind!

Coach Lumar joined Track Academy as a teenager with Olympic dreams. He stood on podiums. He trained with legends. Then a ruptured achilles changed everything.

But here's what makes us proudest - he never left the track. He just found a new lane.

Today, Coach Lumar is the trusted adult for young people facing the same challenges he once did. Doubt. Setbacks. He stands with them. He believes in them before they believe in themselves.

That's Track Academy. Not just PBs. A launchpad.

Our athletes put pen to paper for our life skills workshop – Aiming High.

On one side, our under 11s dreaming big and unfiltered ❤️✨
"I want to get stronger, faster… have stealth🥷… be an Olympian🥇."

Then our older athletes took a more focused approach in the grandstand, discussing and mapping out the steps to turn their own goals into reality.

Behind every life skills workshop we do is a plan, ten core capabilities we build, week by week:
Listening | Presenting | Networking | Problem solving | Creativity | Staying positive | Aiming high | Discipline | Teamwork | Leadership

From "stealth mode" to structured goal-setting; this is the journey of growth we love to see our young people go on.

Here's to dreaming big, planning and working hard. 🚀
