I chose to attend Chiswick School because it offers the unique opportunity to pursue both my football aspirations and academic studies. Through its partnership with Brentford Football Club, I am able to study at Chiswick School while also playing football for Brentford. This partnership is invaluable as it enables me to balance A-levels and vocational subjects alongside my football commitments, something not always possible in other football programs.

Chiswick School has tailored timetables for students in the football program, ensuring we do not miss lessons while allowing more time for training and matches. The school provides exceptional support for both our academic and football goals.

I currently study Business, Sport, and Science, while also being part of the football program, which includes two training sessions a week and one match. My time at Chiswick has allowed me to grow both academically and as a footballer. Looking ahead, I hope to begin a degree apprenticeship in Business next year, while continuing my football journey with the Under-19 team.
