The Arsenal Women Sister School Programme aims to support schools in developing girls sport and foster & inspire a love of football.
During the past two seasons Arsenal Women have worked with over 30 Primary and Secondary Sister Schools with the key aims of:
- Inspiring every girl to love the game
- Supporting teachers with skills & confidence to deliver more girls football at their school
Previous Seasons

Sister Schools in the 2019/20 Season
Across the 2019/20 season we will be re-structuring the support we offer to schools, making the programme more flexible and focused around football coaching.
