Our History

The Education Programme


The Sheffield United Community Foundation education department specialise in the delivery of sports specific qualifications for 16-19 year olds with an interest in one of the various careers in the sports industry.

Whilst studying with us, the students have a number of opportunities to develop their learning capacity and learn new skills for future employment. We encourage students to take advantage of volunteering opportunities with Sheffield United Community Foundation, delivering football and physical activities throughout the city.

All educational lessons take place at prestigious SUFC facilities including the Study Centres at Bramall Lane and the Redtooth Academy. The Study Centre at Bramall Lane is a multifunctional IT suite with additional space for classroom activities. The Academy classroom is also equipped with IT facilities and breakout space for practical sports activities and is also home to the SUFC Academy scholars.
