The girls shone throughout with unwavering dedication, impressive team work, excellent communication skills and demonstrated the outstanding calibre of Weatherhead students. Miss Whelan, commented, “to achieve this recognition beyond our Ofsted ‘outstanding’ status is a real credit to our extremely talented students. It is evidence of the hard work, commitment and dedication of all the staff who create an aspirational culture, where our students really believe in themselves and strive to achieve their best at all times, as well as the tremendous support from our parents, carers and Governors. It is an absolute honour to be one of only 83 schools in England to achieve World Class Schools status.

Assets and Opportunities 5. 3G Football Turf pitches (FTPs) 6. Improved Grass Pitches 7. Changing room pavilions / clubhouses 8. Small-sided facilities 9. Appendix A: Priority Project List 10.Appendix B: Consultation List Executive Summary In summary, the LFFP for Wirral identifies opportunities to accurately target investment in football facilities across the local area. The national funding partners have significantly increased investment to accelerate efforts to deliver more and better football facilities for the grassroots game and this plan proposes a programme of 31 priority projects for potential investment that will transform local football facilities, including 3G FTPs, improved grass pitches, changing rooms pavilions/clubhouses and small-sided facilities. This LFFP will be the go-to document for football facility investment in Wirral However, it does not guarantee the success of future funding applications; each of the priority projects identified will still have to follow an application process to show how it will deliver key participation outcomes, be a quality & sustainable facility and demonstrate suitable match-funding. 62 13 Improved grass 3G FTPs pitches 14 13 Changing Small-sided rooms/ pavilions/ facilities clubhouses Next steps When each priority project is in a position to proceed, pre- application support will be provided by the Football Foundation and the Cheshire County FA. We strongly encourage local stakeholders to maintain positive partnerships with these organisations. The successful delivery of this plan will ultimately require the collective efforts of all local partners.
