We are so proud of our Year 1 pupil, Frank, who has been scouted at his grassroots football team and invited for a six-week trial with the Manchester City Football Academy! 

This amazing opportunity gives Frank the chance to train with the Academy and potentially join the U6s Manchester City team. 

What an incredible achievement at such a young age — we’re all cheering you on from the sidelines! Good luck, Frank!
