Premier League launches most ambitious community programme which aims to connect with 10,000 primary schools by 2019.

The Premier League has launched Premier League Primary Stars, a national curriculum-linked education programme which uses the appeal of the Premier League and professional football clubs to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills.

• Premier League Primary Stars will provide free curriculum-linked teaching resources for girls and boys aged 5-11
• Free to download lesson plans, activities and video content are designed to inspire learning in Maths, English, PE and Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
• National programme will expand in-school support for teachers provided by 88 Premier League and English Football League clubs in England and Wales
• Alongside this the Premier League launches its first ever national advertising campaign featuring top talent

Premier League Primary Stars builds on the existing delivery professional football clubs provide to primary schools in their communities and offers a range of bespoke curriculum-linked teaching resources aimed at Key Stages 1 and 2, including lesson plans, activity ideas, work sheets and video content.

Each teaching pack uses real life sport examples to put the lesson content into a context relevant to and engaging for children, with clear teaching instructions which ensure that the resources are easy to use.  Registered schools will also be able to enter competitions to win a visit from the Premier League trophy and apply for teaching support materials such as book boxes or PE kit and equipment.

Primary schools can register for free on www.plprimarystars.com to enable access to the programme’s full portfolio of resources.
