We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award – for the second year in a row! Schools need to get the Gold Award for five consecutive years to get a Platinum Mark Award, and we feel this achievement really reflects Fishergate’s long term, sustained commitment to developing a rich and rewarding experience of PE and sport for all our children.

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.

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.
