NEW KIT: Northampton School's Under-12s want to say thank you
Northampton School’s Year 7 football team has kicked off its new season in style, thanks to support from a local housebuilder. The team is hoping to put its best foot forward, proudly wearing the new red and black striped kit.
“We were delighted to have David Wilson Homes sponsor our U12 football strip,” said Gary Burton, from Northampton School. “This donation has allowed the school to purchase a quality kit so the students can perform at their best, while maintaining the high standards of the school.”
The secondary school is located close to David Wilson Homes’ Overstone Gate development. “We’re thrilled to sponsor Northampton School’s new kit and we wish the team the very best of luck this season,” said Ben Kalus, from David Wilson Homes South Midlands.
“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 heartwarming to support the school this way.”
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.
