Last updated 24th Nov 2022
A school in Norfolk has renamed itself after England's captain, Harry Kane, in honour of the World Cup.
The King's Lynn school formerly known as Howard Junior School has renamed itself as ‘The Harry Kane Junior School’ in a bid to show their support for the England football team during this year's World Cup.
Head teacher Gregory Hill said pupils came up with the idea: “They wanted to do something momentous so we’ve completely rebranded the school signs and badges.
“Some people say it’s just sport, but the World Cup brings the nations of the world together, and we all need that.”
The school has been getting into the spirit, posting updates to Twitter, regularly featuring footballs, teachers dressed as inflatable lions, and lots of footballs.
Pupils and staff also watched the first England match against Iran together on Monday.
The Harry Kane Junior School have even caught the attention of the man himself, who was once on loan to Norwich City in the 2012/13 season, on Twitter - he's thanked them for all their support.
The school now says they're considering making the name change permanent... if England win the tournament!
