Back in September 2022 both the College and the Pirates announced a partnership that would see students take part in detailed training sessions from the squad as well as player-student mentoring sessions, which focus on the importance of school.

The agreement also sees the Pirates make use of the school's state-of-the-art synthetic turf pitch, where the first-team squad trains once a week.
