YOUNG football fans from across Coventry and Warwickshire were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close to one of the most iconic prizes in world sport as the Premier League Trophy visited Brownsover Community School in Rugby and the Coventry Building Society Arena.

The Premier League Primary Stars programme brought together pupils from across the region to celebrate learning, participation, and the positive impact of football in education.

The day began at Brownsover Community School, where pupils had the chance to see the trophy up close, learn more about the history of the Premier League and discover how the game can inspire teamwork, resilience and ambition on and off the pitch.

The visit created a buzz throughout the school, with pupils taking part in activities and enjoying the rare opportunity to pose for photographs alongside the famous silverware.




The celebrations continued at the Coventry Building Society Arena, where 10 Premier League Primary Stars partner schools were invited to attend a dedicated trophy event.

Pupils from across the city gathered at the stadium to take part in a range of activities designed to promote physical activity, confidence, and teamwork.


Throughout the day, children participated in interactive challenges and educational sessions.

Pupils also learned more about the trophy’s significance, its journey throughout the footballing world and what is required to become Premier League champions.

Teachers and school staff praised the events for providing a unique experience that connected classroom learning with the power of sport.

A school representative said: “The Premier League Trophy visit was an incredible opportunity for our pupils.

“Seeing the trophy up close generated so much excitement and enthusiasm. It was fantastic to see children engaging with the activities and learning about the Primary Stars values.”

The Premier League Primary Stars programme supports thousands of schools across England and Wales, helping teachers inspire young people through free curriculum-linked resources, physical education opportunities, and targeted support.
