Challenging Gender Stereotypes with Premier League Primary Stars
The Premier League Primary Stars programme provides essential resources to help children aged 7-11 understand and challenge gender stereotypes. Designed for Key Stage 2 PSHE lessons, the initiative encourages inclusivity both in and out of school.
Why this resource stands out:
- Empowering pupils: Pupils will learn what gender stereotypes are, how to identify them, and gain the confidence to challenge these biases through engaging activities and thought-provoking discussions.
- Inspiring role models: The lesson showcases incredible male and female figures who defy traditional stereotypes, inspiring pupils to think critically and celebrate diversity.
- Youth voice film: A dynamic film amplifies the voices of young people as they share practical advice on fostering inclusive environments - both on and off the pitch.
- Designed for teachers: Developed with the guidance of subject matter experts and practising teachers, this resource provides teachers with everything they need to guide impactful lessons.
“This is a very user-friendly and engaging lesson that effectively targets the idea of stereotyping in school and out of school.” - Welsh PSHE Primary Teacher
