Fowler
"We want to be the best we can be every day. If that means we are one of the best education facilities in the city and UK, that's great.
"It is down to the staff and the culture they create; bringing out the best in young people,"
"I think what we've said is we're about opening up different pathways for people to get to where they want to get to. In the football world, yes, it's brilliant.
"When we first opened, we looked at the stats and of the thousands and thousands of kids at academy level, those who go on to make it professionally, statistically, it's something ridiculously low.
“We support our students, and if they are good enough then the opportunities are there, but we know it’s extremely difficult so that’s why it’s even more important we back it up with qualifications, and pathways, which helps them to succeed in whatever they wish to do."
The Fowler Academy is recognised as an award-winning educational establishment who have facilitated over 100 students into higher education
