Sherwood Sports Achievements!

We are delighted to announce that we, Sherwood Primary School, have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2021/22 academic year.
 
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in
2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

Our achievements so far this year:

Entered every tournament available to us;
Finalists in the PNE Kids’ Cup;2nd in the Preston Schools’ Triathlon;
3rd in the Boys Premier League (Football);
1/4 finalists in the Preston Schools’ Cup;
2nd in the Tag Rugby Div 2;
Won the Girls Football Prem, without losing a game;
1/4 finalists in the Girls’ Cup;
Won the Division 1 Netball Title, without losing a game;
2nd in the Y1/2 Gymnastics.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible.  We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community.  We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
 
A big thank you to everyone involved!

We look forward to applying once again in 2023!
