26 Apr Social Action Project – Premier League Inspires – Wembley Stadium Pitches!
Well done!
A group of our wonderful KS3 students: Mmachi Year 9, Luqman Year 8, Tanzir, Alisha and Ari 7 were chosen by a panel at West Ham United Football Club to represent the school and West Ham at the national Premier League Inspires finals at Wembley Stadium.
They delivered their Social Action project to schools and clubs from all over the country all based around promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.
The day started with them getting to school bright and early so they could travel to the stadium for a 09:30am meet. Once the event began, they took part in a ‘Wellbeing Workshop’ with some of the other teams. Alisha Year 7 said “it was informative and inspiring to see how others viewed mental health and wellbeing, and it gave me an insight to how to tackle mental health in another way”.
After that we moved onto lunch, before preparing to go on a stadium tour around the iconic national stadium. Mmachi Year 9 said “it was incredible to experience what it is like to walk in the footsteps of some of the world-famous faces who have been there!”
At the end of the tour it was time to present their project. They got interviewed by some people from the Premier League and really showcased how well they have been doing in preparing their ‘Mental Health Week’ which will be coming to Jo Richardson Community School later this term. Ari, Year 7 said “it was nerve wracking but really fun to do and see all the other projects”.
Today was all about making a difference and highlighting the statement that ‘It’s okay not to be okay’. To sum it all up, Luqman Year 8 said “it was an inspiring and enjoyable experience to be a part of and I can’t wait to see what we can do with this project”.
All of the children were amazing and all brilliant representatives of West Ham United and Jo Richardson Community School.
Well done!
