The Whitworth Community High School students now have their photographs on the outside of the sports hall at the Hall-fold building.

Striker Libby Bell-Taylor, 11, from Whitworth, hopes to emulate Lioness Keira Walsh who also attended her primary school Healey.

Being a World, European and Sandee boxing champion earned 11-year-old Oliver Loader a place on the wall.

At only 13, cricketer Mason Hayhurst plays in five teams for Bacup Cricket Club, including three adult sides, one of which is the second team.

He also plays for Lancashire Interleague.

Dancer Charlotte Zampach is only 12, but is already on a masterclass at Salford's The Lowry, where she has shown incredible improvement and so has been asked to help to lead classes for children aged nine to 16.

Footballer Libby said: “As a baby I would play with a ball and I started at Wildcats Rochdale aged five.”
