The school is also involved in numerous initiatives including School Sports Co-ordinator, Healthy Schools, Gifted and Talented, Step into Sport, Study Support and Awards for All. We have been awarded “Sportsmark” for a second time and the “Football Association Chartermark” in recognition of the quality of our work. Recently we have been awarded “Healthy Schools” recognition and additionally, we have received the “Sportsmark Gold” award, something which has been gained by only a few schools around the country and is given for outstanding sporting provision over a period of time.
