Ark Globe Academy and Fulham Football Club Foundation are pleased to announce a new partnership to create a Football and Education programme at Ark Globe Academy, launching in the new academic year.
The Football and Education programme provides the opportunity for 16 to 19 year old boys to further their education on and off the football pitch. The programme offers high quality training sessions and challenging weekly fixtures in the EFL Community Leagues (U19), alongside the opportunity to complete a BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport & Exercise Science (equivalent to 3 A-Levels).
Matt Jones, Ark Globe’s Executive Principal, shared the following to mark the beginning of this collaboration.
“I am delighted to announce the news of our formal partnership with Fulham Football Club. The partnership will enable local sporting talent to experience elite level coaching and exposure to the world of professional sport, while at the same time achieving the qualifications in our 6th Form that will enable them to access university or high-quality apprenticeships after finishing their studies at Ark Globe Academy.”
Karen Taylor, Fulham FC Foundation Head of Operations, echoed these sentiments.
“We are excited to launch a new partnership with Ark Globe Academy, providing students with the opportunity to continue their Education, whilst pursuing their passion for football. This combined approach allows us to support students through their studies and in the development of transferable skills, creating a strong foundation for their future learning and career.”
