Chadwick Football Academy

The Chadwick Football Academy was established in the autumn of 2023 to provide positive experiences and harness students’ passion for football further. The aim of the academy is for the pupils to develop positive relationships through sport and help build their social skills. Sport is widely regarded as having a positive impact on mental health and here at Chadwick we want to enable students to have a sense of belonging through positive sporting experiences.

We want our students to enjoy and learn from their experiences in school football, as well as develop their resilience and mind-set and foster good working relationships with the coaches and fellow players.

We want each of our Football Academy players to benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of our qualified coaches and build on their own skills in order to aim even higher and fulfil their potential.

We are committed to encouraging players to:

• Develop their ability to achieve their full potential
• Set targets and goals
• Reinforce a positive attitude including their relationships with coaches and players
• Develop a resilient mind-set
• Improve teamwork skills
• Enjoy and learn from their footballing experiences

Our curriculum is tailored to both outfield players and goalkeepers. We have qualified coaches to deliver sessions to a high standard. Our aim is to develop our players and provide them with positive school sport experiences.
