We have high expectations for each child to leave as a confident young adult who is well prepared for the future. The Sir Geoff Hurst Academy is being built on the site of the site where Rainsford High was located and where Sir Geoff attended school. A hero to many of us as the only man to score a hat-trick in a world cup final when England were victorious in 1966, our CEO was honoured to meet Sir Geoff in person to ask for permission to name the school after him.
