Education:
The education side of the programme takes place at the All Saints Academy in Cheltenham. The school offers a wide Sixth Form prospectus, consisting of A level and level 3 BTEC subjects as well as a level 2 Key Skills course for those wishing to benefit from the nurturing and supportive atmosphere that the Sixth Form offers.
Your education takes place during the normal school day and your timetable depends on what subjects you select, with football training and games incorperated into your working week. The programme operates similarly to any educational setting in terms of its requirements. Anyone who hasn’t achieved at least a C grade at GCSE in Maths and English will be required to resit these during Year 12.
Training:
Training sessions will mostly take place on the 3G pitch at the All Saints Academy after school at 3:30pm. However players will have the opportunity to train at the first team and academy training ground (Seasons) during the day in pre-season and during certain holidays.
Players will take part in sessions ran by two full time members of the clubs academy staff.
Fixtures:
The programme has two teams who both play their fixtures in the Community and Education Football Alliance League (CEFA). Players will have the chance to represent Cheltenham Town in a competitive league against other teams including the clubs Community Trust team and other EFL participants.
Fixtures will be played on a Wednesday with all home matches to be played at the Seasons training ground. Students are encouraged to use free school periods to catch up on missed Wednesday lessons.
