Trip to Manchester United FC

On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, we took 42 Year 11 Business and Sports pupils to Manchester United Football Club to participate in the Skills Lab experience. Pupils were able to engage in a self-guided tour of the museum, looking at the history of Manchester United.

After this, they engaged in a 45-minute workshop on the business side of Manchester United, focusing on branding, sponsorship, engagement, and communication. This was a brilliant presentation which also included practical elements and finished with a chance to take photos and try on match-worn shirts, boots and gloves (even Cristiano Ronaldo’s).

Following the workshop, the pupils received a tour of the stadium, going from the stands to the changing rooms, to the tunnel and dugout, before finishing in the press conference room.

Overall, this was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to see a world-class establishment in different scenarios and industries, which could potentially be a driving point for a potential career pathway.
