Stoke City Visit

Last month, our students enjoyed a fantastic careers visit to Stoke City, offering them a unique look into the world of professional sport.

The day kicked off with an energetic morning of coaching drills, where students put their skills to the test in the training dome. Following the practical session, the group was treated to an amazing “behind the scenes” tour of the stadium. This provided a valuable insight into the various career paths within a professional club, from the fast-paced hospitality and media areas to the logistics of professional football management.

A highlight of the day was experiencing the “Matchday Programme” firsthand, which even included a walkout into the stadium to give students a taste of the atmosphere on game day.

Our students represented the academy brilliantly, showing great curiosity and enthusiasm for the diverse range of roles that keep a major club and stadium running. Well done to everyone who took part!
