Educational Day at the Proact Stadium delivered by Chesterfield FC Community Trust

Over 120 primary school pupils recently attended an Educational Day at the Proact Stadium, which was organised and delivered by Chesterfield FC Community Trust.

The theme of the Premier League Primary Stars event was ‘One World’, featuring the importance of being part of a diverse community, black history and world languages. Spireites stars Will Evans, Scott Boden, Liam Mandeville and Jack McKay also attended a Q&A session.

Keith Jackson, the Trust’s head of sport & activities, said: “We’ve now run a number of Educational Days and we were excited to deliver sessions with a ‘One World’ theme.”

“Kids were taught in foreign languages, told about Black History and equality and took part in an interactive quiz about diversity, with the winner receiving a VIP Press Box Experience at a forthcoming Chesterfield fixture!”

“We had some great messages from the children throughout the day, promoting the theme and really buying into it. As always, it’s been a pleasure to work with them all and we’re looking forward to the next one.”
