We are delighted to announce that we are partnering with The Football Education Academy from September 2020. This partnership allows students to continue to study at the TFEA's offsite provision by TFEA staff whilst also studing a BTEC in Sport, equivalent to A Levels, at Bedford 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 not on a traditional school site, but within a smaller offsite setting, with emphasis 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. This unique approach allows a rapport to be built to ensure that students are supported throughout and beyond the two-year course.

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 the 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.”
