Sports School Alternative Provision
Here at Rochdale AFC Community Trust, we use the power of football and community to raise aspirations and transform lives.
Our aim at RAFC Community Trust Sports School Alternative Provision is to develop young people into being confident, self-aware members of our community, who have a positive impact on society. We offer a bespoke and unique learning experience for young learners with needs that cannot always be met in a mainstream school environment.
The programme is designed to help develop the whole child with a child-centred approach and provide learners with the necessary skills to re-engage with education. We believe that all young people deserve support, encouragement and recognition for them to achieve and be the best version of themselves.
