Premier League Primary Stars

Kevin De Bruyne

Available to every primary school in England and Wales, Premier League Primary Stars inspires girls and boys aged 5 to 11 in the classroom, the playground and on the sports field.

The programme provides free lesson plans, activities and video content for boys and girls aged 5 to 11. These are designed to inspire learning in Maths, English, PE and Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE). Working with the Premier League, we have created all of the English resources for the programme including these individual resource packs:

Developed in partnership with the National Literacy Trust and with teachers and magazine professionals from BBC Match Of the Day magazine, Girl Talk and MEGA magazines to ensure it really works in schools and has the kudos to engage your pupils.

It is an ideal sister programme to Premier League Reading Stars, and can be used with the same pupils.

Premier League Footy Phonics

We know that reading can be challenging for many pupils, and phonics plays a big part in that. Footy Phonics is an active literacy intervention to support children in developing the important skill of understanding phonics.

We have built this intervention based on current phonics research and programmes. In Footy Phonics, leaders are given the tools to revise and reinforce phonics skills that have been taught in the classroom through football-themed, engaging activities.
