Dear parent/carer,

Here at Co-op Academy Swinton, we’re proud to be supported by the brilliant work of Manchester United Foundation. This autumn, they are providing us with an exciting opportunity to participate in the biggest ever football themed climate action tournament.

The Planet League Cup will see more than 70 professional football clubs and hundreds of schools competing to see who can be the greenest. Our students will score goals by taking small actions that can make a big difference, helping Manchester United Foundation and Co-op Academy Swinton reach the top of the league table.

The tournament will kick off on Monday 10 October and will last for five weeks, ending on 13 November.

We’re asking all families to sign up for free at: www.planetleague.co.uk to represent Manchester United Foundation and help them and Co-op Academy Swinton win The Planet League Cup!

Students will score goals for Manchester United Foundation and Co-op Academy Swinton by taking simple actions that are good for the planet like; walking to school, switching off screens for a while or enjoying nature. There are more than 50 ways to score goals, helping children to play their own small part in protecting the planet.

We know there will be families who follow a variety of football clubs in our school, but we’re asking you to represent Manchester United Foundation to support the incredible work they do in our academy and in the wider community.

Once registered, be sure to click the ‘Settings Tab’ in the top right-hand corner and add school, by first choosing Co-op Academy Swinton Local Authority, then our academy from the drop down menu and clicking save.

We hope you’ll support this exciting opportunity and help us to reach the top of the league table.
