Manchester United Foundation

The Orchards School is proud to continue its successful partnership with the Manchester United Foundation, now in its third year. This collaboration is dedicated to providing exceptional support and opportunities for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). In July ’24 Paul Scholes visited The Orchards and met some of our fabulous pupils. You can read all about it here.

As well as bringing stars to meet our children our dedicated SEND officer, Ian Maitland, works closely with staff and students to deliver tailored programs that enhance learning, promote inclusion, and inspire confidence. Through sports, mentorship, and various educational initiatives, we aim to jointly make a positive impact on the lives of these young individuals.

The safety and welfare of all the participants is paramount to ensure the planned activities can be delivered in the most appropriate way for the children to access. In order to do this we provide Manchester United Foundation with basic information about each pupil taking part.

This includes the student’s name, date of birth, postcode, gender, ethnicity and basic details of their special educational needs to ensure that the correct provision is made to enable all children to participate in the activities on offer. We may also provide emergency contact details if required.

Any information we supply to the Manchester United Foundation is securely held and used only for the purposes of delivering the activities and evaluating their success. All information is processed and safeguarded strictly in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you require any further information about Manchester United Foundation or require a copy of their privacy policy, please contact privacy@mufoundation.org
