The FA Charter Standard Colleges programme has been designed to support colleges to:
• Encourage young people to return or continue in education using football as the medium to engage them.
• Raise standards in academic achievement
• Engage young people in learning through sport
• Provide opportunities for males and females to continue playing after leaving school
• Provide opportunities for males and females to pursue FA coaching award so they may play a valued role with the development of community football
• Provide links to quality FA kite-marked clubs
• Provide life long learning skills such as teamwork, discipline and cooperation
The FA is keen to recognize and reward Charter Standard Colleges both on a national and a local level and they will be highlighted and invited to participate in various events at every opportunity.
