About the school

Brooke House College

Brooke House College has done something no other UK school can claim: produced over 80 professional footballers, with 15 players from the 2025 graduating class alone signing professional contracts. Led by former Premier League manager Micky Adams and a team of elite coaches, the Football Academy competes against professional club academies, including fixtures against Manchester United, Liverpool and other top clubs, and is the school that represents England at the World Schools Games. Featured by Sky Sports as a case study in 'how it's done', (which you can see in the first 5 minutes of the video here) Brooke House is, quite simply, the UK's most prolific football development school. Set in the historic market town of Market Harborough, it combines this elite football pathway with outstanding GCSEs and A-Level results, small class sizes averaging just 8 students, and a warm international community of over 45 nationalities.

The Academy trains 200+ players aged 11-19 using the Long Term Player Development Model, with daily coaching Monday to Friday and competitive fixtures on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
