MUFC Players Visit Pioneer House

Pioneer House High School was buzzing with excitement as four Manchester United stars stepped through the doors for an unforgettable afternoon with students and staff.

On 25^th November Manchester United players Harry Maguire, Tom Heaton, Noussair Mazraoui and Altay Bayindir visited the school to celebrate International Day of Persons with Disability and the successful partnership between Pioneer House High School and Manchester United Foundation. The players bravely took part in a Q and A session with our excited students…answering some tricky questions, with lots of humour and fun.  They also shared stories about their careers, challenges they have faced on and off the field, and the determination it takes to succeed and reach goals. The players then jumped right into action, joining a group of our students in a lively game of dodgeball.

It was a visit filled with inspiration and joy that left a lasting impression on all at Pioneer House,

“The students found the experience so enjoyable and are still talking about it”  Josh (TA)

“The players were very polite and interested in our questions” Jacob (Student)

“I’m delighted Manchester United players came to visit  and inspire the students – I think Ruby (school therapy dog) was their favourite staff member….they wanted to take her back with them!” Adele (Headteacher)
