Elite Football and Education

Our post-16 football pathway is regarded as one of the top programmes in the country. We offer players an Elite training and games programme, alongside a first-class A-level or BTEC education pathway at our partner schools in central London and Croydon. 

The training is headed up by former Crystal Palace player Bobby Bowry, who knows what it takes to make it in the game. We have an unbeatable record of progressing players to the professional game, gaining US scholarships and accessing good universities. 

Throughout the year, our top-performing players get exposure playing in the top league outside of professional football (NFYL), FA Youth Cup,  showcase fixtures against professional teams, attending trials at pro clubs, representative teams and the prestigious England School Boys. 

As well as education, we go above and beyond to provide students with the opportunity to gain experiences to help prepare them for life. These include funded international trips, work experience, and attendance of industry-specific conferences and exhibitions.
