Project Outline
More Than Just a Game is an exciting education programme offered to schools as part of a “day trip” to Ipswich Town Football Club. Targeted at Key Stage 2 and 3, the programme offers fun and challenging activities based around literacy, numeracy and science – showing pupils that what goes at Portman Road really is “More than Just a Game.”
Course Details
More than Just a Game offers schools the chance to visit a professional football club, getting behind the scenes of a unique business. The programme has been professionally developed by qualified and experienced teachers and offers schools a menu of activities from which to select three core sessions. The activities, based around literacy, numeracy and science, combine fun, practical activities with computer based challenges within the IT Learning Zone.

The programme is delivered by our experienced Education Officers, allowing the class teacher a unique opportunity to “step back” and access their pupils.
The programme begins at 10am and finishes at 2.30pm. Pupils are required to bring a packed lunch and drink.
As with all our Education Programmes, teachers are more than welcome to visit the stadium prior to their visit to discuss the programme and activities that their pupils will undertake. However, this is not a requirement as all education activities are led by our experienced and well qualified team of teachers and Education Officers. A Suffolk County Council Risk Assessment for the Education Day time Activities is available for download from this website.

Programme Costs

The Ipswich Town Community Trust is happy to put “small schools” in touch with other interested groups that would like to “session share” – although obviously this is not always possible.
