Manchester City Football School

Aiglon College is pleased to now be a Manchester City Football School, the first in Europe! We are thrilled about what this important partnership will offer our students, both in terms of our football programme, but also our wider approach to holistic education.


Gareth Whalley is the full-time Manchester City football coach, trained and qualified to deliver their world-leading programme. This offers a deep and broad football curriculum focusing on children's individual and collective needs, regardless of their level or gender.

The programme — the only one of its kind in Europe — offers every Aiglonian the opportunity to get a world-class football education on campus, tailored to their specific needs and interests.It starts with what we call Move to Play, which is the very basics for those who have maybe never kicked a ball before, and it goes all the way up to Play to Perform, aimed at more experienced players who understand the nuances of the game.

Campus & Local Facilities

We take full advantage of our location. Students have regular access to and make extensive use of the Tony Jashanmal Sports Centre, our state-of-the-art sports facility, which includes two multi-use, full-size courts and fitness suite and our two outdoor astroturf football pitches. Supervised by Aiglon staff, students regularly use these facilities for a workout or a friendly match with friends.

The school also has access to the Villars tennis centre, local athletics track, indoor swimming pool, ice-rink and, in the summer, Lac Léman. In the winter, students alpine ski, cross-country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, ski tour and train or race throughout our local resort, offering over 112 km of slopes and glacier skiing, open from October until May.
