PREMIER LEAGUE READING STARS
Premier League Reading Stars (PLRS) is a 10-week literacy intervention designed to be delivered in schools, libraries and football clubs.
The aim is to stimulate literacy engagement in children aged 9-13 years who love football but lack motivation in reading. PLRS evaluation has shown that the programme can have a significant impact on attainment and attitude.
The National Literacy Trust and the Premier League have worked in partnership since 2003 to create this evidence-based programme. PLRS is currently funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and the Welsh Government for PLRS Cymru.

JOY OF MOVING
About
The Joy of Moving programme, delivered in partnership with Ferrero UK by 23 English Football League Club Community Trusts, engages thousands of young people across the country every year. According to research only 30% of boys and 25% of girls aged 5-7 meet the recommended quota of exercise each day. Such inactivity levels are leading to a variety of issues affecting both physical and mental health.
The Joy of Moving programme is designed to help children develop their physical, cognitive and social skills in a fun and educational way. This is achieved through two national projects, the Move & Learn programme and the Joy of Moving festivals that engage 70,000 young people nationwide each year.

TRANSITION PROJECT
About
2020 saw the start of a brand new transition programme at Newport High School, helping year 7 pupils settle in to life at high school. During these weekly sessions, we worked on teamwork, confidence and communication skills to benefit young people in the community as well as in the school environment. We started the programme in August 2020, which meant we were able to deliver the programme successfully right up until the Christmas holiday period.
