Dear Student, 

As we approach the end of the school term I would like to make all students aware of the Bishop Laney Sixth Form College Football and Education Programme. 

The Football and Education Programme at Bishop Laney Sixth Form College is a fantastic opportunity for male and female students in year 11 and 12 with a passion for football to continue their education  in partnership with the Norwich City FC Regional Development Programme. 

All players will have the option to study their choice of A Level or Vocational pathways alongside our exciting full-time football programme including daily training sessions and regular fixtures against high level opposition.
