Surrey Cricket Programme
Cricket at Harris Merton Sixth Form with Surrey CCC
At Harris Merton Sixth Form we are proud to be part of the Surrey County Cricket Club Sixth Form Cricket Programme; a pioneering initiative that lets students combine A Level study with elite cricket training and wider sporting opportunities.
What our Students Gain
- Professional coaching from Surrey CCC staff
- Strength and conditioning training to perform at their best
- Employability workshops and certified courses in coaching, media, hospitality and groundskeeping
- Volunteer coaching opportunities with the Surrey Cricket Foundation, including sessions for local primary schools at the Ben Hollioake Learning Centre at The Kia Oval
- A programme that grows stronger each year
Since its launch in 2023, the Sixth Form Cricket Programme has expanded rapidly. Harris Merton Sixth Form is now part of a growing network of state schools across Surrey and south London, with applications rising by over 250%. This growth reflects the strong demand for a unique blend of academic excellence and sporting opportunity.
Why it matters
Being part of the programme means our students don’t have to choose between top‑class A Level study and high‑level cricket development – at Harris Merton Sixth Form they can achieve both. The skills and experiences gained prepare students for further study, professional cricket, and a wide range of careers in and beyond sport.
