Braidhurst nets top SFA award
BRAIDHURST High School in Motherwell has been given a prestigious accolade in recognition of its valuable contribution to grassroots football.
The school is the first in North Lanarkshire to receive the Scottish FA Quality Mark Standard Award and one of only nine throughout the country.
Braidhurst is one of six Scottish FA Schools of Football and has three boys' teams and one girls' team at various age groups.
As part of the School of Football programme, 20 pupils from across North Lanarkshire were selected to attend Braidhurst as full-time students, but follow a curriculum which includes a period of football activity every day coached by former Motherwell player Ian Ross.
The award, part of the Quality Mark Accreditation Scheme run by the Scottish FA in partnership with McDonald's, recognises proactive clubs and schools working to increase youth and community participation.
