Roedean School is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Whitehawk Football Club aimed at advancing girls’ football within the school community. This collaboration marks a significant step in the development of the sport, providing girls at Roedean with unparalleled opportunities to enhance their skills and grow as athletes.

As football continues to gain momentum as a key sport for girls, Roedean remains dedicated to supporting the development of confident, inspiring young women. This partnership perfectly aligns with the school’s ethos of nurturing talent and empowering students to excel both on and off the field. The newly launched programme will offer opportunities for students, regardless of experience, to improve their footballing abilities, build confidence, and become integral members of a dynamic football community.

Through this partnership, Roedean is committed to expanding the scope of girls’ football, with a focus on increasing fixtures, enhancing coaching provision, fostering a stronger, more inclusive football culture within the school, developing a greater link with the local sporting community, and increasing opportunities to understand how a local club operates.

The collaboration with Whitehawk FC will provide a valuable pathway for aspiring footballers at Roedean, enabling students to train alongside top-level coaches and engage in structured, challenging sessions designed to enhance technical and tactical skills. The creation of the Roedean and Whitehawk Girls’ Football Academy will serve as a key platform for developing both individual players and team dynamics, fostering an environment that encourages passion, hard work, and excellence. This partnership is also an opportunity to build on the communities of Roedean and Whitehawk, reinforcing the shared commitment to growing girls’ football across the region.

Roedean is excited to offer its students a programme that is both challenging and inspiring, where they can connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the game.

This collaboration will not only enhance the football experience at Roedean but will also contribute to the long-term growth and development of girls’ football as a whole, being very much aligned with the nationwide growth in the game in recent years.

We look forward to seeing our students take full advantage of this opportunity and continue to thrive both as footballers and as confident young women.
