“My confidence to deliver PE has improved because I now have a range of session ideas to keep children more engaged and to encourage parts of the session to be student led.”

The Premier League Primary Stars programme has three offers to schools across Hertfordshire and Harrow:
PE
This programme is a unique teacher education model available to local primary school teachers. This much-needed support is tailored to each individual teacher across a period of 10 weeks. Each teacher receives support through practical PE lessons and a variety of resources to help with their PE delivery. The main aim is to help PE teachers become more confident to deliver high quality PE.
Children taking part over the 10-week programme will improve their fundamental movement and problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to work as part of a team. This is achieved through high quality PE lessons delivered by highly trained Trust PL Primary Stars coaches.
Emphasis is on allowing children to be creative and take control of their own learning during PE. The main aim for the children is that they improve their enjoyment for physical activity.
Reading
This unique reading intervention programme can be delivered over a 6-week or a 10-week period. It has been designed by the National Literacy Trust in partnership with the Premier League to raise the interest and confidence within children who love football and sport but require extra support and motivation around the subject of reading. This is achieved by fun educational reading workshops linked to the power of sport. The Trust will also supply several resources to bring this education to life. The programme works best when delivered to small groups of children (4 – 6 children maximum).
PSHE and Math
New for 2019 / 2020 the Watford FC CSE Trust, as part of the PL Primary Stars programme, will be able to offer PSHE and Maths lessons. Both can be delivered over a 6-week or a 10-week period.
Both PSHE and Maths lessons will be brought to life through a range of resources enhancing the power of the Premier League and Sport.
