Future Stars Education

Future Stars Education provides alternative education through sport for primary and Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils across Greater Manchester. Its on-site and off-site provision uses football and practical learning to support students who may experience SEND or SEMH needs, behavioural challenges, school avoidance, anxiety, risk of exclusion or permanent exclusion. Sessions are led by former professional footballers, offering students access to coaching and mentorship informed by experience at clubs including Manchester City, Swansea City and Liverpool, as well as with England.

Alongside high-quality football sessions, Future Stars Education offers Functional Skills qualifications in English and maths and a practical, sport-based qualification. The organisation aims to create a safe, inclusive environment for pupils from specialist and mainstream settings, with safeguarding at the centre of its work. Its staff are fully DBS-checked and have extensive safeguarding experience. Future Stars Education is listed on the Manchester Inclusive Alternative Provision Strategy framework and on Oldham Council’s approved local authority register.
