We are VERY pleased to announce that we, Newport CE Junior School, 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 Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are thrilled to have been recognised for our success.
Our sporting achievements this year are many varied! We have enjoyed competing in basketball, football, netball, dance, cricket, athletics, rugby, cross country, rounders, archery and more!
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.
The most important thing for us at NJS is that we build a life long love of sport for our children and we are so grateful to our amazing staff team who enable this.
We are looking forward to building on this further in 23/24!
