We are delighted to announce that our primary schools have achieved awards in the School Games Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year.
New Road Primary and Nursery School achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year.
This is a huge achievement and the highest possible award from the Youth Sports Trust!
Park Lane Primary and Nursery School achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the second year running.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
With so many young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
A huge thank you to Mrs Bowden and all the hardworking staff who do all they can to encourage and celebrate sport in our schools!
