OUR EDUCATION PARTNER PROGRAMME

Building resilient, inclusive young people

Our vision, is of a world where every young person has the resilience to know who they are, become who they are capable of being, and shape their own future free from exploitation, manipulation, and harm

We partner directly with schools to tackle two challenges that consistently sit at the heart of underperformance and disengagement: attendance and belonging. Everything we deliver is designed to move the needle on both, through our values of Allyship, Belonging and Community.

What Schools Gain...

Whole-school launch

Hover / Click for more info
We launch every partnership the right way: with an assembly or online broadcast so every student hears directly from Paul, setting the tone for an inspiring year ahead. For school clusters, we attend one of the founding schools and broadcast live into classrooms across the region. On launch day, we tour the school with a group of students - beginning the engagement process in person and creating a visible record of a relationship that's built to last. We repeat this each year with the incoming cohort, ensuring no student misses their moment to connect with the programme.

Impactful Role Models

Our roster of inspirational speakers share the quality that defines Paul's story: resilience. We'll deliver at least one online or in-person assembly to your Team Canoville cohort, matching the right voice to your school's specific challenges and desired outcomes; so that every student leaves with something that stays with them.

International Women's Day

Our annual International Women's Day competition gives your students a meaningful platform to celebrate the women who inspire them, while developing the empathetic male allies your school is proud to produce. Through art, performance, or creative expression, young people are encouraged to explore that year's IWD theme and make it their own. Rooted in our values of Allyship, Belonging, and Community, it's a simple, impactful way to show that your school stands for character as much as achievement. 10 winners from your school then get to exhibit/perform at Chelsea Football Club!

Mirror Mirror: The Tour

Through our partnership with Still Shadey, Ment4 & BBC1Xtra on the Mirror Mirror creative programme, we bring something truly special to our school clusters each September - a live concert at a host school, featuring graduates of the programme ahead of their headline October show. It's a moment that connects your students to real creative journeys, and to young people who started exactly where they are.

Celebrating values through the ABC Awards

At the close of each year, we bring schools together to honour the students who best embody Allyship, Belonging, and Community; in person, with families invited to share in the moment. It's a deliberate choice: few organisations like ours have the ability to reach parents as well as students, and we don't take that lightly. We give families a reason to engage with Paul's story and the values it carries, turning one student's journey into something the whole family owns.

Attendance Champions competition

Hover / Click for more info
Each quarter, schools submit a deserving student; 100% attendance, a remarkable improvement, or someone who has shown up despite difficult personal circumstances. The choice is yours; we just ask you to tell us their story. One student is drawn and earns a matchday experience at Stamford Bridge, welcomed personally by Paul, three-course meal in the Paul Canoville Suite, then straight to their seat for kick-off. Their blog about the day is shared across our media channels. Dedication deserves to be celebrated.

Parent Feedback

“I feel I must reach out to you and the school to share how my daughter came home from school yesterday saying it was the best afternoon! She told me the entire story of Paul, which sparked conversations between us about racism, resilience, how things have improved for footballers, but issues still persist. She said his story was very sad.

You probably know she is mad about football, so this really caught her interest.

She also showed me the music video of ‘Still Shadey’ and how he sang and had the whole crowd join in! She expressed how he addressed gang-related issues that are very relevant today and how inspirational the whole afternoon was. She was a very happy girl!

So, we just wanted to thank you for choosing her. I am sure she will flourish in the new Canoville cohort!”
