girls\\\'' day school trust

GIRLS from one of Merseyside's poorest areas will have a chance to attend a high-flying, former fee- paying school. Birkenhead High School for Girls became an academy in September 2009 and Wirral Council is making clear that now it is in the state sector there will be opportunities some families could not have dreamed of. A new business plan for the multi-million pound work on the site reveals the academy is to take on pupils from less affluent surrounding areas.  

Fifteen-year-old Hannah Davies from Steetley and Victoria Stasi, 14, from Harthill were both on the podium at the Girls Day School Trust Athletics Rally. The event was open to 29 schools from all over the country, and the girls both took individual titles. Hannah won the Senior Hurdles event and was part of the Senior Relay team who were crowned Trust Champions.
