Video: David Beckham surprises London schoolchildren Staff at Vaughan Primary School in north west London were sworn to secrecy before the visit, which drew cheers of excitment from the pupils. The former England captain then joined the children, aged between three and eleven, in the playground to play blind football and took part in a sitting volleyball match. Paralympic sports are a regular part of the curriculum at Vaughan Primary School in north west London to promote appreciation of disabled sports. Beckham praised the efforts of all those who took part in the campaign. "For the kids to try this, two million kids around the country have now tried a Paralympic sport, that's an amazing number and it's going to inspire a number of kids now, with disabilities and without disabilities, to take part," he said.
