Results among the best achieved by our Academy players
First year with two in-house teachers supporting BTEC students
Commitment to education recognised as young players excel in their studies

This summer has seen some of the best GCSE (U16), A-level and BTEC (U18) results ever recorded by the Academy, underlining our commitment to developing well-rounded individuals as well as footballers.

Each U18 scholar accomplished at or above their target grade, with GCSE attainment for our U16s the highest on record, surpassing the national average for 2024.

For the first time, the Academy has had two in-house teachers dedicated to supporting our BTEC students, providing guidance and learning support alongside a busy training schedule. With this in-house teacher investment, we are now running three separate timetables for players across U18, U21 and First Team schedules.

The work of our in-house teachers has been pivotal in helping players balance their football development with academic achievement, ensuring they are prepared for a variety of pathways in the future.

The results reflect the hard work of our players, staff and education team, who all contribute to the strong culture of learning that exists throughout our Academy, while our partnership with Ratcliffe College has produced the highest ever value-added data.

Our Head of Education, Jay Groocock, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the way our players have approached their studies this year. Balancing football and education is never easy, but the results show the dedication they have shown on and off the pitch.

“Our aim is to give every player the skills and qualifications they need for the future, and this year’s achievements are a fantastic step forward."

As the Academy continues to nurture the next generation of Foxes, these results stand as a testament to the Club’s belief that education is every bit as important as footballing ability in shaping successful, well-rounded young people.
