usING the appeal of football clubs to HELP CHILDREN be active and develop essential life skills.

Premier League Primary Stars is the Premier League’s primary school education programme. Funded by the Premier League through the Premier League
Foundation, the programme uses the appeal of football to help children be active and develop essential life skills.

Launched in 2017, and available to every primary school in England and Wales, Derby County Community Trust is one of 103 professional football club charities
across England and Wales delivering Premier League Primary Stars, supporting pupils in the classroom, the playground and on the sports field. There have
been more than 20 million attendances by primary school pupils at club-led sessions to date.

Premier League Primary Stars enables teachers to use resources across English, PSHE, PE and maths, to support children to develop skills and values that are
crucial to success in later life.

Derby County Community Trust began its Premier League Primary Stars delivery in 2016 and has now been delivering the programme for 10 years. Across DCCT’s delivery during the 2025/26 academic year, the programme engaged 1,387 female participants and 1,546 male participants, delivering   22 anti-discrimination workshops, 49 other themed workshops and 15 competitions.

The free programme also provides teachers and parents with access to more than 650 downloadable resources across a range of curriculum subjects at Key   Stage 1 (age 5-7) and Key Stage 2 (age 7-11), developed by teachers for teachers, and in collaboration with experts such as the National Literacy Trust.
