Theo Walcott has given his backing to the new Premier League Primary Stars project, which was launched this week.

PL Primary Stars is the Premier League’s most ambitious community programme to date, looking to provide free curriculum-linked teaching resources for girls and boys aged 5-11 in 10,000 primary schools in England and Wales by 2019.

"I hope this programme can have a very positive influence on the education of young children across the country."

 The advertising campaign can be seen across television, cinema, and social media channels from 2 April and will also feature Kevin De Bruyne, Gary Cahill, Eric Dier, Sadio Mane, Juan Mata and Jose Mourinho.
