We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Platinum mark award for the 2022/23 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sports Trust, to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to be recognised for our success.
This year's award is a significant achievement. Platinum is the highest accolade and is only achieved after a school has been awarded Gold for 5 consecutive years and has shown consistent dedication to sport and activity in their region. We were awarded Gold in 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19 before a pause due to the pandemic and then again in 2021/22 and 2022/23.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfill criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone in our school community has been rewarded and acknowledged.
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport.
