Everton in the Community celebrated their relationship with the children and staff at Knowsley Lane Primary

Everton in the Community and Knowsley lane Primary School have worked closely together over the last few years to raise aspirations and standards for pupils in the school, not only through assisting with the delivery of PE classes but through enhancing the delivery of PSHE, mentoring and coaching across the school.

The video states that ‘through their work with the school as part of Premier League Primary Stars, Everton in the Community have created a unique vision for using football at Knowsley Lane Primary School to engage schools and the wider community, developed strong relationships with teachers at the school, and helped pupils to enjoy learning.

Ned Solanki, Chair of Governors, has seen for himself the impact the club has had, telling Everton that ‘we’ve seen, just from pure statistics, the impact on the children. They love Everton coming into the school, you see them smiling, you see them enjoying it. It’s a life experience they may never get anywhere else.”

Three years in, the programme has gone from strength to strength.’
