The FA has confirmed it is the first time a girls’ and boys’ team from the same school have made it through to the finals.

Katrina Coxon, business manager at the school, said everyone is really proud of the pupils.

The national final will take place at Leicester City Football Club’s King Power Stadium and Zinedine Zidane is international ambassador of the event.
