Exploring St George’s Park

On Thursday 27 March 2025, a group of 15 Year 10 pupils attended a trip to St George’s Park, the home of English football. The purpose of this trip was to give the members of the Year 10 football team an opportunity to visit a world-class professional football facility.

The pupils first arrived at the Hilton Hotel, which is located on-site, where they checked in. They were then greeted by a qualified England coach who guided them on the exact path the England football team takes when moving from the hotel to the boot room. During this walk, the pupils were introduced to various features of St George's Park.

Next, they visited the boot room and sat in the same seats as the current Men's and Women's National Team players while putting on their boots. Once they were properly equipped, the group walked to the main training pitch, which is an exact replica of the pitch at Wembley Stadium. 

Finally, they were taken to another pitch to participate in a 90-minute football session. During this time, the pupils were trained as if they were members of the England football team. Throughout the trip, the pupils displayed courtesy and respect.
