It’s been an incredible term for BA Football Academy, with our 6th form team crowned champions of the ECFA Men’s East Tier 3 League for the very first time! 🏆
The success doesn’t stop there—there could be even more silverware on the horizon after Easter. This week, the team showed ...real character and quality to overcome tough opposition and secure their place in the U18 Bedfordshire Schools County Cup Final.
A huge congratulations to all the players for their outstanding commitment, hard work and dedication throughout the season. 👏⚽

An incredible show tonight from our dancers! We are so proud of the hard work and passion you have all poured into the routines.
It was an extra special (and emotional) show as we said goodbye to our year 13 dancers who have been at BA as dance has grown over the last few years. They have ...been phenomenal role models and we wish them all the best for the future 💜
