EMPOWERING PUPILS THROUGH FOOTBALL AND EDUCATION

Dundee United Community Trust is dedicated to supporting local nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, and ASN schools through a variety of programmes and initiatives. By integrating football and physical activity with educational goals, we aim to enhance students' learning experiences and personal development. Our comprehensive support services are designed to meet the unique needs of each school and foster a positive, engaging environment for all students. We can help your school in achieving its improvement plan by:

ENHANCING NUMERACY & LITERACY THROUGH FOOTBALL
We use various aspects of football to create interactive and enjoyable activities that improve numeracy and literacy skills, with tailored programmes to engage pupils in learning through the context of sports, making education both fun and effective.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE & LIFE SKILLS THROUGH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Our football participation sessions are more than just physical activity. They are designed to support the development of confidence, communication, problem-solving and leadership skills. These sessions provide students with the tools needed to succeed both on and off the pitch.

PROVIDING WORK PLACEMENTS & VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES
We provide work placement and volunteering opportunities for pupils, helping them gain valuable experience and skills that will benefit them in their future careers and strengthen their CVs and applications. Our programmes align with educational goals and offer practical, hands-on learning.

SUPPORTING SCHOOL EVENTS
From sports days to careers days, we support various school events that enrich the school community. Our team is available to help plan and execute events at your school or in the community.

We understand that each school has unique needs. We take requests from schools to provide customised support, whether it's running specific programmes, offering resources, or providing expert advice. We are here to help schools achieve their goals and support their pupils and families.
