Premier League Primary Stars has launched The Power of Positive Voices, a brand-new free assembly resource that brings the stories of Premier League players into the classroom this Black History Month.
Primary schools marking Black History Month this October can now download The Power of Positive Voices, a brand-new free assembly resource from Premier League Primary Stars that brings the stories of Premier League players into the classroom.
The assembly is the latest addition to the No Room for Racism: Black Voices pack. It was created as part of the Premier League’s No Room for Racism initiative, which encourages people to take action against discrimination and promotes greater diversity in football.
The resource uses football’s biggest role models to help pupils explore diversity, belonging, resilience and self-confidence. The players featured include:
- Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
- Ethan Ampadu (Leeds United)
- Alex Iwobi (Fulham)
- Lauren James (Chelsea Women)
- and many more
Because pupils hear directly from players they recognise and admire, the assembly gives teachers an easy, engaging way to start conversations about difficult topics.
Premier League Primary Stars resources have a strong track record here: 9 out of 10 teachers report a positive impact on pupils’ understanding of diversity and inclusion after using them. Over 83,000 teachers across England and Wales are already registered with the programme.
A Diversity Lead from a school in London explained what makes the resources work in the classroom: “…the fact that the resources are engaging, make the subject relatable and are easy to use enables us as teachers to facilitate discussions on important topics…”
