His role is to lead the overall training and footballing philosophy that supports the development of our football academy players both on the pitch, in the classroom and around the wider school.

Miss Mahmood
Core Learning
Miss Mahmood is responsible for the structure and delivery of Core Learning. Core Learning is a model that has been designed to include various aspects such as PSHE, Finance, Careers and Study Skills which support our students in developing their softer skills outside of their academic studies. Core Learning is a fantastic opportunity to provide students with the necessary support to take the next steps in their adult lives, whether this be with their driving awareness course in year 12 or their UCAS applications for University. Alongside this, we have recently introduced the opportunity to study an EPQ as an internally recognised Leadership qualification, which will support students’ applications for higher education, apprenticeships and employment.
