Today, the University of Kent Academies Trust is delighted to announce a partnership with Chelsea FC to provide sporting and educational provision for its students.
The flagship of this is UKAT establishing a College Academy Football Programme for the Kent region, where Sixth Form students will benefit from professional coaching and competitive football, opportunities to undertake additional qualifications as well as a range of select enrichment events and visits to Chelsea FC facilities and training centres.
From 2026, this collaboration will establish a girls’ football team in a unique and forward-leaping initiative to widen participation and support the national growth of women’s football.
Through this exclusive partnership, UKAT will be leveraging Chelsea FC’s experience, resources and status as a global, multi-billion-pound organisation with a prestigious sporting lineage to serve our communities.
