The balance between football and School Work

When a young person of school age is exceptionally good at sport, there is always going to be a tension between their sporting ability and their academic achievements. When it comes to football, this tension has been recognised by some of the finest private schools in the UK. They have met this challenge by creating a football academy style situation which works within the school’s academic timetable. This way, a talented footballer can enjoy a world class football environment, while at the same time small classes and brilliant teachers will ensure that they fulfil their academic potential as well.  

This produces a win/win situation. Parents can be reassured that they are giving their son or daughter the best possible chance to achieve their football dreams. The coaches, training facilities and football environment is as good as you can find anywhere in the world. The coaches dedicate their professional lives to improving these gifted young players under their care. At the same time, these years will not be wasted academically. Whether the plan is to try and complete the classic GCSE and A level exams which are the bedrock of the English educational system, or the International Baccalaureate, then the top quality teachers at our UK Football schools will make sure that the results obtained by your son or daughter will be as good as they can achieve. 

So here is the ideal combination of football success and academic excellence that will put your mind at rest. We have done the hard work for you, too, so that when you tell us your preferences and requirements, here at UK Football schools we will find and recommend the perfect school that ticks all your boxes.
