Norwich City players Kellen Fisher and Jacob Wright brought an unforgettable finish to the school year as they visited Colman Infant and Junior Schools for a special appearance with the Community Sports Foundation.
The visit was a great surprise for Colman, who worked with the Foundation throughout last year as part of its Schools Sports Provision, receiving high-quality PE lessons and after-school clubs that enriched physical activity across the school community.
Across Reception to Year 6, more than 300 pupils met Fisher and Wright for photos and autographs. They also took part in lively Q&A sessions, answering questions about their football journeys, ambition, resilience, and what it takes to become a professional footballer.
It was a genuine surprise for the children and a brilliant way to round off the final week of term.
Head of Schools, Asa Saunders, said the appearance captured exactly what the Foundation aims to deliver for young people:
“It was fantastic to see Kellen and Jacob engaging so naturally with the pupils – moments like these stay with children for a long time.
“We’ve enjoyed working closely with countless schools this year, including several player appearances, and we look forward to building on that engagement in the new academic year.
“The Foundation will continue to provide amazing opportunities across 2026/27 for schools to support their PE and School Sport offer during and beyond curriculum time.”
By utilising the enormous power of Norwich City Football Club, our Schools department aim to raise the aspirations, skills, and wellbeing of pupils across Norfolk and Suffolk through a number of different programmes.
From tournaments and events to extra‑curricular clubs, enrichment sessions, teacher CPD, and Active Canaries, our team is committed to creating meaningful experiences that inspire young people.
If your school wants to elevate its PE provision, expand extra-curricular opportunities, or bring unique football‑inspired experiences to pupils, now is the perfect time to get involved.
