Northampton School for Boys (NSB) was awarded the
"Daily Telegraph School of the Year Sports Award 2006".
One factor in NSB achieving this award was the work BackoftheNetfc implemented along with the PE staff (Jamie Wilcock, Craig Armstrong & John Taplin) in supporting a structured football programme for the pupils at the school. BackoftheNetfc were asked by the PE staff to work alongside and assist in football sessions for NSB. In September 2007 NSB started a Football Academy within the school; as with all sport at NSB the staff are always looking to give their pupils the best opportunity to improve. Jon Brady (Head Coach, BackoftheNetfc) said, "I have worked with a lot of staff at many schools, also with professional footballers and coaches, and I have never seen a PE staff who have more experience, knowledge, drive and ambition to succeed for the school and the pupils' benefit."
