Wigan Athletic Community Trust delivers free lessons for primary school pupils

Wigan Athletic Community Trust are continuing to provide virtual lessons to primary schools across the Wigan borough during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff from the Community Trust are delivering live Premier League Primary Stars lessons to schools from home, with topics including maths, English and a number of PSHE subjects.

Lessons have included subjects on healthy eating, plastic pollution and diversity which saw a special guest appearance from Chey Dunkley, with the former Wigan Athletic defender sharing his experiences on the topic with pupils from St Andrew’s Primary School.

Phil Sharkey, PE Coordinator at St Andrew’s says the virtual offer has provided many benefits to his

pupils.

“The virtual lessons are a great way to stay connected to the coaches at Wigan Athletic Community Trust and the Primary Stars programme,” he said.

“The Community Trust have provided us with constant support and the lessons are a real benefit to the children who have really engaged in the lessons.”

Alongside a virtual offer, some staff are continuing to provide high quality PE delivery in selected primary schools for youngsters who remain in school.

The virtual offer is open to all primary schools and delivered free of charge.

There is limited capacity so schools are encouraged book early to avoid disappointment.

To book or to find out more information about the offer then contact Wigan Athletic Community Trust’s Primary Schools Manager, Greg Hardman, by calling 01942 318090 or emailing [email protected].
