"Training at Arsenal Academy is intense, and the travel schedule is demanding. Sophia High gives me the freedom to access my lessons from anywhere—whether I'm on the team bus or in a hotel room—so I never fall behind on my GCSE"

"Before Sophia, I was constantly choosing between training and school. Now, I don't have to. The flexible schedule allows me to train with the England squad and travel for tournaments while keeping my grades up. It's the perfect balance."

"Representing my country requires total focus. The teachers at Sophia understand elite sport. They help me manage my workload so I can focus on the match when I need to, and catch up on academics immediately after without any stress."

"This is my fifth season playing at Arsenal, and it has been the most intensive training schedule I have experienced. Sophia School has provided the necessary flexibility to ensure that I continue to meet my educational commitments while travelling for tours, training sessions and matches. Sophia supports me to balance both my on and off field responsibilities."
