Jubril Okedina, Dilan Markanday and Jamie Bowden, supported by professional story-teller and writer Tony Dallas, read stories to Year 2 and Year 3 pupils at Brook House Primary School in Tottenham.

As well as developing talent for the First Team, the Academy is committed to ensuring all scholars have the necessary skills and education to enable them to achieve success on and off the pitch. Reading sessions improve vocational skills such as public speaking and presentation skills.

Before going into the school, all Academy scholars completed a storytelling training course lead by Dallas, who has worked with the Club for over 10 years.
