A Milestone
in Education:
Premier League Primary Stars
engages more than one
million pupils in 2023/24
Premier League Primary Stars, the
Premier League’s primary school
education programme, supported
1.4 million pupils across England
and Wales in academic year 2023-24,
thanks to its digital events, activities
and resources alone.
Highlights of the 2023/24
Academic Year
Funded by the Premier League, through
the Premier League Charitable Fund,
Premier League Primary Stars uses the
appeal of football to help children to be
active and develop essential life skills.
Since its inception in 2017, the
programme has engaged over 19,000
schools and more than 70,000 teachers,
with more than 18 million attendances
by primary school pupils recorded at
sessions delivered by professional
football club charities to date.
The programme also supports teachers
to enhance learning and build their
pupils' confidence in key areas, including
PSHE, Physical Education, Maths and
English by providing access to free,
curriculum-linked digital resources.
The free educational resources,
developed by teachers for teachers, are
designed to support children to develop
skills and values that are crucial to success
in later life.
Supporting Teachers and
Inspiring Students
More than 650 curriculum-linked
resources are available to every primary
school in England and Wales.
Resources are developed in collaboration
with educational experts and
organisations, including the National
Literacy Trust, PSHE Association and the
BBC to ensure they are aligned with
current teaching standards and practices.
Examples include the No Room for Racism
resource, created in collaboration with
the BBC and the Jamie Johnson series,
designed to support key stage 2
classroom-based discussions around
racism, allyship and creating inclusive
school environments.
Similarly, the new Premier League Primary
Stars Footy Phonics resource has been
designed to support children on the vital
first step in learning to read and
complements existing classroom
practice. Developed in partnership with
the National Literacy Trust, teachers and
subject-specialist experts, the resource
offers simple, football-related activities to
support teachers to revise and reinforce
phonics knowledge and skills to help
young children aged five-to-seven to find
the fun in reading.
Amy McAvoy, a primary school teacher
from Southwest London is one of
thousands of teachers to regularly use
Premier League Primary Stars in the
classroom. Amy said: "I regularly used
Premier League Primary Stars resources
last year with my Year 5s, who were
football-obsessed and highly engaged
with the content”.
"The resources were fantastic for
improving teamwork and collaboration,
skills my students struggled with initially
but mastered by Year 6. The excitement
these resources brought to subjects made
a noticeable difference in their
engagement and progress."
The Power of Football in
Education
Premier League Primary Stars
incorporates well-known footballers
such as Harry Kane, Mason Mount, Demi
Stokes, Chloe Kelly and Leah Williamson
into its lesson content. The inclusion of
professional players helps to engage
students with the learning material
and reinforce key messages about the
importance of teamwork, resilience, and
leadership.
