Peterborough school scores football kit sponsorship from homebuilder

The school, which is located close to the housebuilder’s Hampton Beach development is hoping to put its best foot forward and join the wider school football league, while proudly wearing the new, navy blue with red trim, kit.

Simon Pepper, PE Lead at St John Henry Newman Catholic School, said: “Physical Education is a huge priority for us, and the children love to represent the school in sporting events and occasions. With Barratt Homes’ generous support, we can give the children an opportunity to engage in local sporting events, share in healthy competition, and display the positivity of sporting values.

“This fantastic sponsorship from Barratt Homes reinforces that we are part of the local community, and we are proud about where we live. The children were extremely excited to see the new kit and are desperate to get in the teams to represent the school.”

Children’s charity, Little Lives UK, claims that sport and exercise can be a great way to boost young people’s mental health with improved mood and lower rates of depression and anxiety being prevalent in young people taking part in regular physical activity.

Will Phair, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “We’re thrilled to sponsor St John Henry Newman Catholic School’s new kit and we wish the team the very best of luck for the coming season.

“As a leading housebuilder, it’s important for us to support the communities in which we build. Sports and physical exercise are an important part of a child’s education, so it’s particularly heart-warming to support St John Henry Newman this way.”
