Year 7 student, Jack Patterson, was praised by his English teacher Mr. Mobberley, who organised a surprise from his favourite football team.

Jack was sent a personalised shirt, a signed football and a programme courtesy of Walsall Football Club, but that’s not all! The Year 7 student will also be leading out the Saddlers at The Bank’s Stadium as a mascot and ball boy at a future game.

Jack was delighted with his reward, which was awarded to him by headteacher Mr. Salkeld.

English teacher, Mr. Mobberley said: “He is a credit to St. Francis of Assisi and himself and really does demonstrate all the values the school stands for. Well done Jack and keep up the amazing work.”

Well done Jack, from the Pioneer Magazines team!
