Programme Spotlight: Wildcats
In the first of our monthly programme spotlights we are taking a closer look at Wildcats, the FA-funded programme aimed at engaging girls aged five to 11 in football.
We were delighted to welcome Luke and Bali to our school and join in with one of our classes. Both were very engaging with our pupils who, being Sunderland AFC fans, were very excited to spend time with some of the players they respect and admire both on and off the pitch.
