Olive Hackney learning to play ‘The Arsenal Way’

Pupils at The Olive School, Hackney have been receiving weekly visits from coaches from a Premier League football club to help them stay active and learn key skills.

The school have been in partnership with Arsenal in the Community for the past few years, with coaches from the Premier League club supporting the school’s PE teachers in delivering lessons.

Arsenal coaches have been delivering weekly high-quality PE sessions, leading targeted classroom interventions and social action projects.

Along with delivering football and other sports ‘the Arsenal way’, the coaches have helped to kick start breakfast clubs which involve physical activity and have also been keeping pupils active during break times.

The partnership has also given rise to exciting activities away from school, including tours of Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Earlier this year, a group of Year 3 and 4 children were even invited to follow in the footsteps of their heroes as they played on the stadium’s hallowed turf in the Arsenal Primary Stars Football Festival.
