They also took time out to sign autographs for those present and offer up their own advice to the youngsters.
Speaking following the event, Clough said, "I've really enjoyed coming down here today. The kids really seemed to enjoy it and they asked some very good questions too.
"It's really important for them to be educated like this with events that are fun for them given the world that we live in and how multi-cultural it is.
"Everybody is equal though and it's really important that they understand that from a young age. Hopefully we'll have helped them to do just that."
