NOTLEY HIGH SCHOOL / BRAINTREE SIXTH FORM & TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE Notley High School/Braintree Sixth Form and Tottenham Hotspur are pleased to announce a new and exciting partnership ahead of the 2022/23 academic year.

This will involve a full-time Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Development coach working with Notley/Braintree and our local Primary schools and grass roots football clubs to deliver high quality coaching.

The Football Development Coach will be based at Notley High School/Braintree Sixth Form and will be responsible for overseeing the new Sixth Form Football Development Programme, alongside creating and supporting links with local Primary schools.

The Tottenham Hotspur coach will also work closely across the school and will support the delivery of the extra-curricular sports programme to students in Years 7-11. The aim of this is to develop not only the overall ability of our students, but also to engage students with the true values and life skills of sport.

The Sixth Form programme will allow students to continue their studies within sport alongside developing their practical ability. The link with Tottenham Hotspur will give students the prospect to continue their studies into further education alongside the club itself and the opportunity of pursuing a career within the football industry.

The main aims of the partnership with Tottenham Hotspur are to provide all students, current and future, a clear development pathway from the age of 11 to 19 through sport. There is the opportunity and desire to grow and expand, including a unique Girls Football Development Centre (September 2023). It will also provide a pathway into the Clubs Unique coaching pathway for talented and dedicated students via the Global Football Development Coaching Excellence Centre (CEC) programme. CEC Coaches to receive mentoring, CPD and a clear pathway to move into employment as a Tottenham Hotspur coach.
