What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are seeking partners to support in the delivery of a football Academy programme in the Guildford area. Partners must be able to provide expert coaching / playing opportunities for approximately twenty 16-18-year-old learners including academy league matches and a development plan.

All programmes will be co-delivered with our faculty teams, with our College staff delivering the primary learning aim (BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma Sport), and any English and maths courses that the individual students require. Alongside their coaching and development work, partners will seek to attract learners from some underrepresented demographics and undertake community outreach work including the provision of work experience for our learners.

All applicants will demonstrate robust quality assurance practices, health and safety, child protection and safeguarding policies.

The successful partner will need to work with us within the limitations of the 16-19 funding lagged funding formula whereby successful delivery in 25/26 will lead to lagged funding being received by all parties in 26/27.
