Claude Gauci, head of Servite Primary, said: ‘The work the Foundation is doing is key. This community is so diverse and mixed, with different religions and cultures and so it’s huge that Chelsea are working really hard to ensure that there is awareness about diversity and equality.



‘It has been amazing to have Eden Hazard come and visit. We are the nearest school to the club and we have such a close bond but to have someone like him come here is a great thing.



‘It’s made everyone so upbeat, it truly has been brilliant.’



Prior to surprising the Year 6 pupils, Hazard had some fun and games with some of those in Year 4 who had previously taken part in the Foundation sessions.



The Belgian hid behind a curtain as they read out their poems before surprising the delighted kids and giving feedback on their work – as well as some fun football chat!



Olivia, who is a huge Chelsea supporter and was one of two pupils chosen to receive the signed shirt from Hazard, described the moment the surprise was revealed.
