A LOCAL school wants to be fit enough to qualify as Wirral's first Sports College.

Bebington High School has been approved to apply for a £500,000 of Government funding in order to establish a centre for sports development and training in Wirral - but must first raise sponsorship totalling £50,000 during the next two months.

Debbie Jennings, co-ordinator for the project, says the school is committed to developing sport, physical education and dance at all levels within the community."

For information on sponsorship, call Miss Jennings on 645-4154.
