Head of Football
Football is the most popular sport in the UK. It has global appeal due to its accessibility, irrespective of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age or ability.
At Bryanston, we believe that football can cater for all. For those who wish to play for fun, football provides competition with opposition which is sure to enhance a love of the game. For those who wish to play to compete, football delivers on all fronts with a competitive training and competition programme. Some will play for social connection, to feel part of a team and promote a sense of belonging.
In 2024, Bryanston’s footballers, both girls and boys had an exceptional football season and were crowned winners of the U18 UK South West Independent Schools League in their debut season.
'Football is fun; the concept of the game is easily understood from my perspective, it’s a game I have a natural aptitude for it. It is good for my mental health and developed my social interactions. I have become more confident as I have had supportive people around me who encourage and acknowledge my success.'
The programme is open to boys and girls across all ages.
Autumn term (Sep–Dec)

'Bryanston has further strengthened my love and desire for football and because of this, I always wake up feeling blessed and grateful that I have been given the chance to attend such a beautiful school that provides so much opportunity to develop and learn. Not only in football, academically or physically but mentally.'
