Rossall School, an independent school based on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire, has partnered with global golfing icon and lo local legend Tommy Fleetwood to provide pupils with an unparalleled golfing education and development pathway.
The partnership will see Rossall’s Golf Academy – already recognised as one of the leading school golf programmes in the country by the Independent Schools Golf Association – become the exclusive Tommy Fleetwood Academy (TFA) partner within the UK independent school sector from September.
The Tommy Fleetwood Academy currently operates from three established locations and has developed a strong reputation for nurturing golfers of all ages and abilities.
Rossall School will become the fourth addition to the Tommy Fleetwood Academy family and the first educational institution to join the network, marking a significant milestone in the Academy’s continued growth and extending its proven coaching philosophy into the independent school sector for the first time.
Andrew McBride, Headmaster of Rossall School, said: “This is a landmark moment for Rossall School and one that fills us with enormous pride and excitement. Our Golf Academy has already established itself as one of the leading school golf programmes in the country, with national success and an outstanding reputation for developing talented young players.
“To become the exclusive home of the Tommy Fleetwood Academy within the UK independent school sector is truly groundbreaking. This partnership reflects our ambition to provide exceptional opportunities for young people and to continue pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in education and sport.”
A significant feature of the partnership is the creation of the Tommy Fleetwood Scholarship, a prestigious fully funded place at Rossall School for an aspiring young golfer demonstrating exceptional talent, dedication and potential.
Tommy Fleetwood said: “Rossall’s commitment to excellence, both in the classroom and on the golf course, immediately stood out to me. The school shares our belief that young athletes should be given every opportunity to develop as golfers, students and people.
“The Tommy Fleetwood Academy was created to inspire and support young golfers on their journey, and partnering with Rossall allows us to provide an exceptional pathway for talented players within an outstanding educational environment. The introduction of the Tommy Fleetwood Scholarship is particularly exciting because it will open doors for a young golfer who has the talent and determination to succeed. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the partnership and the students who will benefit from it.”
