Cronton is the place to come if you are serious about sport
At Cronton Sixth Form College our Sporting Centre of Excellence allows students to gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst training to a high level in their chosen sport.
Many students progress on to University but some go direct to play professionally for teams such as the Widnes Vikings.
Our Sporting Centre of Excellence has a course for all students regardless of your chosen sport or level of ability, and we also work in partnership with the nationally renowned Widnes Vikings to offer specialist training courses.
