Primary school teachers can register for free resources and parents can nominate schools by visiting Premier League Primary Stars
St Anthony's RC Primary and Nursery School, in Hertfordshire, welcomed a special guest last week when Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes came down to join in with a PE lesson.
Gomes got involved in football drills with Year 4 pupils as part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme delivered by Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust.
"Football has the power to inspire so for the Premier League to be involved in projects like this is huge and helps the kids to go on and achieve great things in their life," Gomes told watfordfc.com.
As well as promoting PL Primary Stars, Gomes also helped launch the new Premier League Primary Stars Kit and Equipment scheme.
