Seth & Shanelle
The Football and Education programme provides young people with the opportunity to combine academic learning with high-level football training.
Seth and Shanelle are both examples of what can be achieved through this balanced approach.
Seth has progressed to training with the Chesterfield FC first team, gaining valuable experience and exposure at a high level of the game. His journey reflects the importance of dedication, hard work, and taking opportunities when they arise.
Shanelle has also achieved significant success, earning a place in England’s U17 training camp while continuing her education. The programme has supported her development both on and off the pitch, allowing her to pursue her ambitions without compromising her studies.
The flexibility and support provided by the Trust enable students to manage both academic and sporting commitments effectively.
Their stories demonstrate how integrated programmes can open pathways for young people, supporting both personal and professional development.
