Sir Geoff Hurst, Moore’s close friend and teammate, officially opened the secondary phase of Bobby Moore Academy in 2018. He spoke of Moore’s values: leadership, dedication, dignity, and humility. These values are woven into the fabric of the academy. They guide the students and teachers alike. The academy aims to provide a well-rounded education, focusing on academic excellence and opportunities beyond the classroom.
