Since 2017, Premier League Primary Stars has provided schools, teachers and parents with downloadable, curriculum-linked resources to inspire pupils to be active and to develop important like skills.
They cover a variety of subjects, including PHSE, Maths and mental health, and last year Premier League Primary Stars launched new resources specifically addressing self-esteem.
The Building Self-Esteem resource contains activities and content that encourage young people to improve their resilience, try new things and use positive self-talk.
Alongside input from teachers and mental health experts, the resources feature advice from current Premier League players as well as former England internationals Theo Walcott and Jill Scott MBE.
To help launch the resource, Walcott visited Christ the King Catholic Primary School, located a mile from Emirates Stadium, to take part in a Premier League Primary Stars session run by his former club Arsenal and their club charity, Arsenal in the Community.
There, he surprised schoolchildren, sharing his experiences with them and supporting them during their lesson.
"I was delighted to support the launch of this new Premier League Primary Stars education resource and share some of my own story," Walcott said.
"Football is a brilliant way of connecting with people, so I know the children the League and clubs reach with their range of community programmes will take these lessons forward.
"Having spent most of my career in the Premier League, seeing the connection between the on-pitch competition and the support it enables for people throughout the country is inspiring."
There are almost 30 free resource packs for schools that are centred around wellbeing topics, which have been downloaded more than 75,000 times.
Walcott helped to launch the Premier League Primary Stars education programme nine years ago. Now, with 87 per cent of all schools in England and Wales engaged, more than 70,000 teachers benefit from its free resources.
Premier League Primary Stars provides teachers with resources across a range of curriculum subjects at Key Stage 1 (age 5-7) and Key Stage 2 (age 7-11), developed by teachers for teachers, and in collaboration with experts such as the National Literacy Trust and the PSHE Association.
Currently 104 professional football club charities from across the leagues receive Premier League funding to deliver Premier League Primary Stars sessions within local schools.
