“It is really important that we have days like this because it’s about bringing them out of the classroom to give them real life experiences about careers, about STEM, about opportunities for employment for the future and this is a really immersive experience for them with Run With It which we really value.”

“I loved all of it. The activities were such fun and you made me feel special and encouraged to have a go at everything, even if I was a bit nervous! I enjoyed the TV studio, measuring the pitch and interviewing the player the most”.

“This initiative challenged the children through the following activities; numeracy hunts, real-life problem solving activities in the retail shops, area and perimeter exercises using the pitch, heart rate tasks, graph work and averages. All of the above made use of the fantastic access to areas such as the stands, concourse, pitch side, media room, changing rooms etc. The children enjoyed every single session and couldn’t wait to return each week.”

“All children were provided with learning challenges that were framed around real-world engagement and context. In regards to skills that the children had already developed, they were able to see the purpose behind skills they had been recently taught which helped prompt some quality conversations within the sessions themselves...The quality of the delivery of lessons was unwaveringly good, both you and Georgia were brilliant role models for the children who built excellent relations whilst delivering engaging materials”.

“We really enjoyed the programme. I loved that each week was a totally different activity, which was fun but still educational. The children's faces each week were a pleasure to look at as you could see their excitement beaming through. Jane and Steve worked wonderfully with the group and kept their interest engrossed in a range of activities.”
