As part of the Wrotham School Football Academy students will have 4 timetabled lessons per week in place of enrichment. The programme is designed to develop our students footballing ability and also develop a wide range of skills to develop their character and ultimately make them more employable. We have links with multiple semi-professional clubs as well as Universities in both the UK and USA.

Players will receive:

- Weekly progressive training sessions with Mr Barlow

- Competitive weekly fixtures in the KSFA U19 league

- Video analysis sessions reviewing previous matches/highlights.

- Individual player development plans

The training takes place alongside studying three Level 3 courses. Academic progress and success is monitored closely, and our team members are expected to work hard to ensure that they keep on top of their studies as well as their athletic progress and performance.

Anyone who has an interest in sport/football.

A number of our previous scholars have progressed to study in universities in the UK and USA with subjects related to the sports industry (including events management, sports coaching, and business management among others). The character and skills development in this programme can give enrichment to any apprenticeship, employment or university application, giving them direct examples of teamwork, communication, creativity and problem-solving, resilience, integrity and professionalism.
