Course Summary
The University of Kent Academies Trust is delighted to announce a partnership with Chelsea FC to provide sporting and educational provision for its students. The flagship of this is UKAT establishing a College Academy Football Programme for the Kent region, where Sixth Form students will benefit from professional coaching and competitive football, opportunities to undertake additional qualifications as well as a range of select enrichment events and visits to Chelsea FC facilities and training centres. From September 2026, this collaboration will establish a girls’ football team in a unique and forward-leaping initiative to widen participation and support the national growth of women’s football.
Through this exclusive partnership, UKAT will be leveraging Chelsea FC’s experience, resources and status as a global, multi-billion-pound organisation with a prestigious sporting lineage to serve our communities.
Opportunities within this programme include:
Multiple progression routes offered to players of the College Academy including opportunities for American Scholarships, pathway to St Mary’s university, employment at Chelsea FC and routes into semi-pro football clubs.
Establishing UKAT as a hub to deliver coaching and outreach to Kent primary schools.
Delivery of multiple Player Development Pathways to identify and fast-track talented individuals and increase participation in sport.
Enabling UKAT students access to Chelsea FC facilities where they can interact with sporting and non-sporting experts to further their understanding and knowledge of key careers and related fields.
Participation in regional, national and international tournaments.
Engagement from Chelsea FC with year groups across UKAT to engage and enthuse students in sport and raise awareness of healthy lifestyle choices and the benefits of sport and exercise.
