| Sports Colleges were introduced in 1997 as part of the [[Specialist schools programme|Specialist Schools Programme]] in the United Kingdom. The programme enabled [[Secondary education#England, Wales and Northern Ireland|secondary schools]] to [[Specialist school|specialise]] in certain fields, in this case, [[Physical education|PE]], [[sports]] and [[dance]]. Schools that successfully applied to the [[Specialist Schools Trust]] and became Sports Colleges received extra funding from this joint private sector and government scheme. Sports Colleges act as a local point of reference for other schools and businesses in the area, with an emphasis on promoting sports within the community.<ref>{{cite web|title=What are Specialist Schools: Sports|publisher=Department for children, schools and families|url=http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/specialistschools/what_are/sports/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100105210758/http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/specialistschools/what_are/sports/|archive-date=5 January 2010}}</ref>

| The Specialist Schools Programme ended in 2011 after the change of government. Despite this, schools can still become Sports Colleges through the [[Local government in England#Funding|Dedicated Schools Grant]] or [[Academy (English school)|academisation]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Specialist Schools|url=https://www.politics.co.uk/reference/specialist-schools/|access-date=2021-12-24|website=Politics.co.uk|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Specialist schools programme: Michael Gove announces changes|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/specialist-schools-programme-michael-gove-announces-changes|access-date=2021-12-25|website=GOV.UK|language=en}}</ref>
