Great News: Gold Award 2023-24

Back to News
16th Sep 2023

We are delighted to announce learn that following an assessment process our school has again received a 'Gold Award, for the School Games mark.

We achieved this by maintaining what we have done previously, and growing the school’s engagement in the ‘School Games’ process, delivering at least sixty active minutes on top of the required two hours of PE per week.

Our staff, Sports Majors and Young Leaders have all helped to create a range of opportunities to engage our children that involve physical activity through competition, personal challenges and non-competitive festivals. These positive experiences have been designed to engage pupils regardless of their ability and encourage motivation, increasing competence and confidence in school which reflects a clear purpose and intent to get our children moving and participating more.

The award also recognises that our school has maintained a clear focus on those key transition points: Y2 to Y3 and Y6 to Y7 and has tried to engage with lots of different School Games-recognised activities. It also recognises our ongoing efforts – that is both staff and children - to create an inclusive and organised range of positive experiences to support the character development of different targeted groups of young people.

Our Sports Majors and Young Leaders led the weekly 'Beat Your Best' challenges and set up games opportunities at lunchtime for all children, which was, and continues to be a key part of our offer.

Huge congratulations to everyone who has helped us secure this very special and prestigious award, including last year's Sports Majors and Leaders; Miss Barrett and Mrs Broadhead for her commitment and overall leadership of this key area of school life!


We all look forward to the year ahead, and to all the exciting opportunities it will bring for continued development. Miss Raynes is now working with Mrs Broadhead to support our fantastic new team of Sports Majors with the BYB challenges at morning break.
