The trust was delighted to be awarded funding to deliver the Premier League Primary Stars Initiative in September 2022.

The Premier League Primary Stars uses the appeal of professional football clubs to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills. Over the next three years, MCT will look to work with all primary schools throughout Lewisham and Southwark through six-week interventions, helping children with their reading, literacy, PSHE, maths and physical education whilst also upskilling primary school teachers to deliver better PE lessons to their children.

Millwall Community Trust’s PL Primary Stars aims to:

  • 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.
     
  • Support young people into further participation pathways in sport.
