Stamford Football Academy Diploma Level 2

4 GCSEs at grades 3/D or above includ­ing Eng­lish and maths, or a rel­e­vant Lev­el 1 qualification.<?xml:namespace pre­fix = ​“o” ns = ​“urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />

Regret­tably we cur­rent­ly do not have the num­bers to run a female foot­ball team, and as FA rules state mixed foot­ball is not allowed over the age of 16 we can­not accept appli­ca­tions from female candidates.

How­ev­er, if you are female and inter­est­ed in a career in foot­ball, our Sports cours­es are the next best alter­na­tive and will still allow you to play foot­ball and oth­er sports.

What­ev­er your results, we want to assure you that exten­u­at­ing cir­cum­stances will be con­sid­ered should you not have the grades indi­cat­ed above. 

We will review each appli­ca­tion on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get a place on the course most suit­able for you.

One of the ways we do this is through a very effec­tive ​‘6 weeks to suc­cess pro­gramme’ that oper­ates from the first day you start your course. This includes sup­port such as (but not lim­it­ed to):

• Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks ‑sub­ject to avail­abil­i­ty

• Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard, sub­ject to avail­abil­i­ty

• Auto­mat­i­cal­ly enrolling you on the GCSE maths and Eng­lish course if you do not achieve a grade 4 pass
• One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team are avail­able at enquiries@​stamford.​ac.​uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

You will need to pro­vide £150 for uni­form and £100 for trips across the year. Please see the Col­lege Life page on our web­site to see how the col­lege may be able to sup­port you with this require­ment https://​www​.stam​ford​.ac​.uk/​c​o​l​l​e​g​e​-life
