Education & Schools

Our Premier League Primary Stars Programme uses the appeal of the Premier League and Leeds United to inspire and engage primary children to learn, be active and develop important life skills. We do this by supporting a range of subjects from English and Maths to Physical Education and PSHE. We work alongside teachers in PE to help improve their skills, confidence, and knowledge in delivering high quality sustainable lessons. We deliver assemblies to address topics such as discrimination, host city wide competitions and deliver school sports days.

Building positive relationships with schools is key;

● We listen to our partners to provide a bespoke offer, tailored to meet school need

● We profile schools and assign staff to suit

Throughout the delivery, we have focussed on creating a positive learning environment, encouraging respect and teamwork. We adhere to individual school values and behavioural strategies, and further support these with the implementation of the PLPS core values; Be Connected, Be Inspiring, Be Fair and Be Ambitious.

Impact / Outcomes

• Enhance the knowledge, skills, and confidence of teachers to improve delivery of PE and school sport

• Increase children’s enjoyment, participation and skills in competitive and non-competitive sports and physical activity

• Increase children’s understanding of the personal skills and values needed to achieve their goals

• Enhance children’s interest, understanding and confidence in English and Maths

Our Positive Choices Programme is a 1-day event that offers interactive, discussion-based workshops, that sees up to six Guest Speakers deliver 50-minute sessions across the school day to Key Stage 3 and 4 Pupils. The purpose is to enable young people to make better choices about their lives and futures.

Working with key partners such as West Yorkshire Police, our lived experienced Guest Speakers tell their stories of how negative choices have impacted their lives and the consequences that this has brought to themselves, their families, and their communities.

Through lived experience stories, the educational awareness raising sessions focus on key themes through involvement in gangs, knife crime, county lines, violence, negative relationships, and child criminal exploitation, as well as hearing how a young person fell victim to such violence and was murdered as a consequence.
