Education and Employability

Sutton United Foundation currently provides a Special Needs Schools Outreach Programme for the Carew Manor Academy in Wallington.

These enrichment sessions carried on at the school on Thursdays throughout the academic year, with currently 12 boys and 2 girls attending.

The sessions are not solely devoted to football and the children can choose from a variety of activities offered, though most choose football as that seems to resonate best with them.

The participants have found that the sessions, well delivered and organised, have improved their self-esteem, confidence, social interaction and, above all, their fitness.

Our plans to expand this offering to other Special Needs Schools in the Community are still being looked at, with the hope that ultimately we would be able to develop a Children’s Disability squad with a view to linking younger members of the Community with our successful Pan-Disability offering.
