Summary/Abstract: One of the main elements ensuring appropriate school development is well-considered and wellorganised enrolment, which is especially hard to achieve in specialised schools. Recognition of factors involved in the decision-making process of potential students may simplify preparation of an appropriate offer for them. This article presents research results concerning reasons that influenced the choice of a sports school, including motives and people staying behind it.The research was conducted in a sports school, among students of primary school, junior high school and high school. The research proves that the main reason for choosing this school is a possibility of combining education with sport, which, therefore, allows to realise a curriculum simultaneously with a training programme. The school location is also important. Students’ relatives had a particular influence on the school choice, whereas almost every forth student claimed that this had been their own decision.
