Panini Classroom Challenge Winner Announced

The English Schools' FA

Panini and the ESFA kicked off the 23/24 Schools’ Football season, by launching the latest edition of the Classroom Challenge. Schools across England were given the chance to receive PANINI PREMIER LEAGUE & WSL COLLECTIONS 23/24 goodies for their school, including worksheets with a competition to design a football. The competition prize was set at a fantastic £2,000 cash for the winning school, plus a £50 Amazon voucher and football shirt for the winning pupil. To top it all off, winners also received the option of a presentation assembly for their school pupils.

Following a difficult judging process across a staggering 5,300+ entries, the ESFA and Panini are delighted to announce that Hoblett’s Manor Junior School in Hertfordshire produced the winning entry, thanks to Ella from year 6.

The ESFA judges were delighted with the quality of entries submitted from all participating schools and found the level of work that went into each of them was impressively high. The judges also chose two other notable designs which came from Logan in year 4 at Hartford Primary School in Cheshire and Kajus in year 6 at Fossdene Primary School in London.

It has been a pleasure for the ESFA and Panini to see the popularity of the Classroom Challenge continue to grow within schools in England with each new competition launch.

Katie Gritt said, “It’s been an absolute pleasure to bring the Panini Classroom Challenge back to schools nationwide!  Supporting children’s creativity is so important to us and the Classroom Challenge provides a great way for children to get creative and engage with football off the pitch.  The quality of the children’s entries continues to amaze us every time!  We want to thank everyone who took the time to submit their entries and to congratulate Ella on being this year’s worthy winner!“

Take a look at the other top two designs below:

The ESFA would like to thank Ella and all the pupils from Hoblett’s Manor Junior School, plus all the other competing schools, for taking the time to enter this competition, and for providing such fantastic examples of artistic design by young students.
