EFL Trust\u2019s +Sport Move and Learn Project, a specially designed primary schools programme encouraging children to take part in physical activity, has embarked on its fourth year running.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The programme that is run in partnership with Ferrero, EFL Trust\u2019s network of 26 EFL Club Community Trusts and The Irish FA helps young people understand the importance of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The +Sport Move and Learn Project is part of Ferrero\u2019s global Kinder +Sport CSR initiative that has already encouraged 15 million children across the world to follow an active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Locally, over the course of six weeks, children from year 5 spend time in the classroom learning about the body, nutrition and the importance of exercise, through participating in interactive activities. This is then followed by a session dedicated to playing football, dodgeball or handball, with two weeks spent on each sport.<\/p>\n

Jo Reed, St John’s Primary School, from Brentford FC has said \u201cThe children have absolutely loved every session.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019They keep talking about what they’ve learnt after they have had a Move and Learn session and it has definitely impacted on them – they are scanning food with the food smart app and loads of them have the flavour infuser water bottles in class.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019The teachers have learnt lots too and it will help us be better role models.\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To date, the programme has been delivered locally by football club trusts in 1,495 schools, with 81,476 children impacted. This Year, EFL Trust welcomes 4 new Club Trusts; Bristol Rovers, Millwall, QPR and Stevenage.<\/p>\n

To build on this success, this year 660 schools and approximately 39,600 children will be reached.<\/p>\n
