Since it began in 2017, Premier League Primary Stars has used the power of football to inspire thousands of schoolchildren across England and Wales.
An example of how clubs and teachers are using the programme's free resources to build confidence and skills in their pupils has been highlighted by an event held recently by the Brentford FC Community Sports Trust.
As part of the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign last year, four Brentford first-team players visited the Trust's Community Stadium Hub to take part in a Premier League Primary Stars workshop on allyship and inclusion.

Students from the Mount Carmel Primary School in Ealing were there on the day to learn about the importance of allyship and how best to support people in the community who need it.
Now, those students are spreading the word about allyship to their peers and fellow pupils by hosting and leading workshops of their own at their school.
"I was blown away by their confidence," said Benjamin Frosdick, Premier League Primary Stars co-ordinator at the Trust.
"It was great to see that their learning was really clear and they were able to share that with their peers, who also were fantastic on the day and were able to talk and share their opinions.
"We now have 60 young people who are going to into their local community and champion allyship."

The Premier League is committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and through the Premier League Primary Stars programme offers packs to teachers to give students the opportunity to talk about the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport and beyond.
Pupils can learn about the Rainbow Laces campaign, how to be an ally, and demonstrate active allyship to the LGBTQ+ community by creating rainbow flags. Pupils will also look at the history of football's involvement with Rainbow Laces.
