At the opening event, Sir Geoff spoke to students and guests from the local community about the significance of the new school being named in Bobby Moore’s honour, as well as the World Cup winning captain’s values.
Bobby Moore Academy’s primary and secondary schools, will provide an outstanding education to more than 1,500 children and in 2022 the school’s Sixth Form will open allowing students to study for their A-levels.
David Ross, Sponsor and Chairman, of the David Ross Education Trust, said: “Our vision for Bobby Moore Academy was to create a lasting legacy from London 2012. Ours is a new school with a traditional focus on academic excellence, mutual respect, and a belief in the importance of creating opportunities that allow our students to experience all that life has to offer outside of the classroom.
