FLEGG High School peer supporters have been using the Study Support Centre at Carrow Road to extend their Fair Play initiative with Norwich City.

Over the past three years, the volunteers have been training mainly high schools in peer support. On this occasion, they trained 15 Year Four pupils from Rollesby First School. These nine-year-old children responded magnificently to the challenge, showing an enthusiasm and maturity way beyond their years.

It proved conclusively to Mr Ward, deputy head teacher at Flegg High School and the eight Year 11 trainers that you are never too young to help other people, which is what the Rollesby children will do on their return to school.

NCFC Community Ambassador Jeremy Goss asked one young girl what she had learned on the day. Her instant reply was: "To help children sort out their problems."

This was a brilliant answer and Flegg High School wants to develop this idea even further because the belief is that if children are trained at a younger age, they will be better equipped to deal with serious issues as they get older.

The occasion was further enhanced by the presence of current first team player Darel Russell, who is the patron of the Fair Play Scheme. Darel conducted a question and answer session with the Flegg pupils as part of a DVD, which is to be shown at the next Fair Pay conference at Carrow Road on March 7.

Darel was a great hit with the young people and said: "I'm very proud to be the patron of such an important scheme. The Fair Play initiative is absolutely crucial in giving advice and support to young people through peer support sessions. The students from Flegg High School who offer and conduct the sessions are doing an amazing job."
