A historic day for Steven Gerrard Academy.
Today, we welcomed Labour’s Deputy Leader and Secretary of State for Education, Lucy Powell MP, alongside Cllr Graham Morgan, Leader of Knowsley Council, to Steven Gerrard Academy.
Steven led a tour of the grounds, showcasing our programmes in action - from our young NextGen players and girls’ programme to our elite and international groups.
Our guests also joined a live Football Media lesson, watching Steven being interviewed first-hand on our unique programme with our education partners, Access Sports College.
Commenting on the visit, Steven said: “For many young people, football is the thing that motivates them to engage with education. We use that passion as a starting point, but our ambition is much bigger - we want to help students discover where their talents can take them and prepare them for careers across the football and sports industries.”
A proud day for our players, students and staff, celebrating the opportunities we’re creating through football and education.
