CASE STUDY: KWAME POKU (Queens Park Rangers)

Kwame joined our Football & Education programme at 16, studying a BTEC in Sport while representing our A squad in the National Football Youth League. In his second year, after trials with several professional clubs, he signed professionally with Colchester United and broke into first-team football, before stepping up to Peterborough United.

Back-to-back Sky Bet League One Player of the Month awards (September and October 2024) and a place in the League One Team of the Season followed — and he’s now taken the next step with a move to Queens Park Rangers in the Championship.

A powerful reminder of what the right environment, high standards, and consistent work can unlock.

🏆 ESFA National Cup – Quarter Finals ⚽

Both of our Football & Education programmes have reached the Quarter Final stage of the ESFA U18 Super League National Cup, placing them among the final 8 programmes in the country.

With hundreds of sixth-form football programmes across England, this is a fantastic milestone for our players and staff.

Now the focus turns to the Quarter Finals, with both teams fighting for a place in the National Semi Finals… and potentially a chance to face each other!!!

Good luck to both squads.
