Synopsis:
Wayne Rooney, Peter Crouch and Rafa Benitez are among the stars taking part in the Premier League’s new marketing campaign ‘Best Lesson Ever’ to promote its Premier League Primary Stars education programme.
The Premier League has today launched its latest marketing campaign to promote its primary school education programme, Premier League Primary Stars. Since launching, Premier League Primary Stars has already engaged 15,000 schools in its first year, exceeding the original target of reaching 10,000 schools in three years.
The Premier League is now extending Premier League Primary Stars to include football-themed educational activities to use at home, as well as an interactive online game featuring players from every Premier League club. This will complement the existing teaching resources which use football to inspire primary school children in maths, English, PE and PSHE.
A star-studded Premier League cast feature in the ‘Best Lesson Ever’ campaign, which comprises of three videos featuring footballers from Everton FC, Newcastle United FC and Stoke City FC surprising local primary school children in Maths, English and PE lessons.
In the first of the three films, Everton’s Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Davy Klaassen surprise a group of primary school children by delivering a maths lesson they will never forget. Subsequent films show Stoke City’s Peter Crouch taking on the role of a PE teacher and performing the robot in a lesson with a difference and Newcastle United’s Rafa Benitez, Ayoze Perez, Massadio Haidara, Florian Lejeune, Christian Atsu and Javier Manquillo making spelling more exciting by bringing a Premier League touch to an English lesson.
