Football Development Programme

Revolution Football Programme

The "Thorpe Revolution Football" programme is a groundbreaking and distinctive initiative, born from Thorpe House School's rich football heritage and unwavering love for the sport. This unique football programme pairs itself with Slough Town FC, making the programme a rare opportunity for all of its players to revolutionise their game. With recent county cup finalists and commendable performances in national competitions, the school's commitment to football excellence is evident. Moreover, the programme takes immense pride in its boys, who have risen to play for professional clubs and achieved victories in regional tournaments, leaving an indelible mark on the school programme football landscape.

This passion for football runs deep in Thorpe House School's DNA, and its alumni have continued to make waves in the football world. With players who have excelled at semi-professional levels and secured scholarships in the USA, the programme hopes to cement their accomplishments as a testament to the nurturing environment that Thorpe provides. Remarkably, Jordi Osei Tutu, an alumnus of Thorpe, made a noteworthy impact, leaving for Arsenal in a landmark £1.5 million transfer and currently plying his trade in the Bundesliga, facing powerhouses like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Another shining star exThorpe pupil is Noah McCann, representing QPR and Scotland at the U18 level as a full international, showcasing the school's ability to foster talent and propel players to greater heights. Therefore programme's aim is very much to build upon these strong football foundations at Thorpe.

Guiding this football revolution is Mr Day, a UEFA B Football coach with a wealth of knowledge and experience. His dedication to coaching at the national level epitomises the programme's commitment to providing top-tier guidance to every player. Under Mr Day's expert mentorship, aspiring footballers receive invaluable insights and coaching, enhancing their skills and taking their game to new heights.
