A Day at Wembley: Level 3 Sports Studies Students Discover Sports Industry Careers

Our Level 3 Sports Studies students recently enjoyed an inspiring visit to UCFB Wembley, where they gained exciting insights into various careers within the sports industry. The trip was designed to provide students with a real-world perspective on the diverse opportunities available in sports beyond just playing the game.

The experience began with a guided tour of the iconic Wembley Stadium, allowing students to explore one of the most famous sporting venues in the world. Following the tour, they engaged in interactive sessions led by UCFB staff, where they learned about different pathways within sports management, media, and coaching. These workshops offered practical knowledge and firsthand insights into the skills required for success in each area.

This visit not only broadened students’ understanding of the sports sector but also inspired them to consider a wide range of future career options. It was a truly motivating day that will help shape the ambitions of our future sports professionals as they continue their studies and prepare for the next steps in their careers.

On Monday 15th May, the Mulberry Schools Trust and Mulberry Stepney Green Maths, Computing and Science College proudly welcomed the Department for Education’s Baroness Barran, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for the School System and Student Finance.

The school was the fourth to join the Mulberry Schools Trust and Baroness Barran spent the day meeting with the school’s leadership team, visiting classrooms and learning about the school’s journey since joining the Trust. We were delighted to showcase some of our great work.

The day included introductions to the Trust’s incredible Mulberry STEM Academy, where Baroness Barran had the opportunity to meet with our young people and hear about their remarkable, life-changing journeys on this innovative STEM programme. This was followed by a presentation on the ambitious post-16 offer of the school, and a plenary which concluded the visit.

Throughout the day, Baroness Barran was inspired by the impressive student voice and student leadership she saw in practice from the young people from Mulberry Stepney Green. The experience was a success and left the school feeling empowered and motivated as they continue their invaluable work in service of the local community.
