To mark the Lionesses’ victory in the European football championship this July, our pupils explored the history of women’s football and its ongoing fight for equal recognition. They considered the increase in media coverage and support for the Lionesses during Euros 2022 and the potential impact this could have on the future for gender equality.
Interestingly, our Primary-aged pupils had the most optimistic outlook on the Lionesses' win.
Things get slightly less optimistic when we look to the thoughts of our Secondary and College students.
"The women winning have changed the face of football forever, but it is only 1 win so it will make a short term change but not a long-term change. They have to capitalise on the attention to the women's game and make the most out of it."
"In my opinion, the Lionesses' win will create long-lasting change. I believe this because women's football is on television more resulting in the increase of people watching women's football."
"I believe this is the start of a snowball effect in the UK education system and as more money comes in through sponsorship, more can be given to UK charities and education to develop opportunities further."
