What happened?
The partnership, which starts in September 2026, will provide pupils with access to Chelsea's coaching methodology and world-class facilities, including the Cobham Training Ground and Stamford Bridge.
Glenalmond College has a strong tradition of nurturing talent and ambition in its pupils. The college has spent 180 years shaping some of Scotland's finest minds, combining academic rigour with the breadth of experience that only boarding school life can provide.
