On Friday 8th March, St Edward's Catholic Primary School in Sheerness joined schools across England in taking part in the #LetGirlsPlay 'Biggest Ever Football Session.'

#LetGirlsPlay is a campaign to influence and drive change, showing that football can and should be played by girls. It is bringing together a growing community of people of all genders, ages and backgrounds who want to champion equal access for girls, helping create independent, resilient young girls who will be a force for good in all local communities.

Sixty-eight girls, from EYFS through to Year 6, took part in the lunchtime activities and practised lots of skills associated with the game of football, including penalty shoot outs. The regular TSC coach supported the activities to help the girls have the very best experience and join in the national initiative. With two lunch-time football sessions being held every week, the school has some budding footballers!
