The training provider in charge of Premier League football club academies has scored its third successive ‘outstanding’ Ofsted result.
Inspectors lauded the Football Association Premier League Limited for its “ambitious and well-structured curriculum” in a July inspection, which was published today.
The provider delivers the level 3 sporting excellence professional apprenticeship at all 20 Premier League teams and six further clubs that were recently relegated to the English Football League. At the time of the inspection, it was delivering apprenticeships to 266 academy football players between the ages of 16 and 18.
David Rainford, the Premier League’s head of education and academy player care “welcomed” the report, and said the league is “committed to elite player development and personal growth, supporting young people to be the best version of themselves both on and off the pitch”.
