Bedford Academy Sixth Form teams up with The Football Education Academy

TFEA are a government funded alternative provision for Post 16 Education, providing pathways to impact and shape a young students future.

The education provision is within a smaller offsite setting, with emphasise on providing an individualised approach to supporting every learner, developing key employability skills, along with essential life skills using football to aid the development of these skills to prepare students for their next steps after year thirteen.

The partnership allows students to continue to study at TFEA's offsite provision and be taught by staff whilst providing the opportunity for students to study a BTEC in Sport, equivalent to A Levels.

TFEA Founder Jack Cassidy said: “We are excited to announce our partnership with Bedford Academy, it was key we found a partner which shared the same values in putting the student at the heart of everything we do.

"We are lucky we have now found that and look forward to the partnership flourishing over the years to come.”

Mr Deller, Bedford Academy Head Teacher, said “ We are delighted to join up with TFEA and be part of their already fantastic set up, which provides opportunities for students to develop their academic and sporting excellence with a structured programme of education.

"This relationship is a big step forward for our school community and excellent news for both parties. We can’t wait to get started in September 2020.”
