Are you an Evertonian? A schoolteacher? Looking at new and exciting extra-curricular activities for your pupils?

If yes, then why not sign up as an officially-affiliated Everton School Supporters’ Club?

We are always on the lookout for new schools to join but right now more than ever as we look to reboot the scheme for the 2021/22 academic year.

Everton’s School Supporters’ Club programme is a great extra-curricular engagement tool for junior Blues that allows them to meet other like-minded students, make friends and learn more about the club they support.

More than 100 schools have signed up since Range High School in Formby became the first in 2016, with affiliated schools now in North America, Africa, Asia and across Europe, as well as in the UK.

We encourage teachers to run their supporters’ club how they think is best, with some schools deciding to hold lunchtime or after school clubs to talk about Everton, and others getting entire classes or even year groups involved. Others run their club as a school football team.

Benefits to registering as an Everton School Supporters’ Clubs are:

• - Access to giveaways and competitions for students to win prizes
• - Eligibility for visits from men’s, women’s and Under-23s players
• - Pin badges for every child in the Supporters’ Club
• - A starter pack for teachers full of activities for their pupils
• - Certificate of affiliation
• - Access to attend School Supporters’ Clubs events and activities hosted by the Club

For 2021/22, we are asking all schools to become part of the Club’s All Together Now campaign and help us celebrate diversity and increase awareness and promote the Club and Everton in the Community’s values of equality.

Participating schools will be asked to pledge to ensure that their School Supporters’ Club is open, inclusive and welcome to all pupils of all backgrounds and that they will engage with All Together Now activities where possible.

Lisa Vaughan, who has run an Everton School Supporters’ Club at Wavertree Church of England primary school since 2016, said: “Since becoming a School Supporters’ Club, we have been lucky enough to give our children access to match tickets, taken our Year 6 class on a stadium tour, a number of our children have had the opportunity to play at Goodison Park, we were asked to be involved with the launch of the club’s partnership with Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and we have had many coaching sessions with Under-23s and Everton Women players, which the children always love. We have also used the learning pack as part of our lockdown learning and that has been a big hit, too!.”
