Former professional footballer and pundit Jamie Redknapp visited Trinity Academy to open a new multi-use games area.

The Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool, Tottenham and England player visited the school, in Brixton Hill, Brixton, on Thursday of last week.

To celebrate the opening of the new area, Jamie Redknapp met with students and staff.

He shared his enthusiasm with Trinity students by joining them in training drills and afterwards took part in a wide-ranging question-and-answer session that covered sport in schools, becoming a professional footballer and broadcasting ethics. 

Head of PE, Joel Palmer, said: “With so much school sport suspended during the pandemic, it is great to have a first-class facility available to our students and community. 

“We have already seen a big increase in the number of students attending extra-curricular clubs.

“Jamie Redknapp’s visit has been a day to remember.”
