'' Finch Farm is the training ground for Everton F.C., in Halewood, in the borough of Knowsley in Merseyside.The School of Science is the nickname given to the complex by some supporters, referring to a long-standing nickname for the club. The training ground houses both the Everton first team and the youth academy. The first team squad officially moved to the complex on 9 October 2007, some time behind the target date of pre-season. Plans were drawn up for the Cheshire County Council owned site in 2002.Everton originally tried to find land in Liverpool but eventually settled on the site, off Higher Road and Finch Lane in Halewood.
