SCHOOL GAMES MARK

We are delighted to announce that we, NORTHLEACH PRIMARY SCHOOL, have achieved the School Games Mark GOLD Award for the 2025/26 academic year, the second year in a row now!

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.

The Gold Mark is indicative of our culture at Northleach that fosters a lifelong love of movement. Children are all active and engaged in PE, enjoy active playtimes and participate in the Daily Mile in KS2. 

The intent of the Sporting events that we participate in varies, and each child is matched to events that suit them. We take part in a wide range of activities and sports, to cater to everyone! They can be just for fun, to learn new skills, to improve health and fitness, to capture youth voice, to aid transition to Secondary school, to engage children in exercise, to offer experiences to pupils who may not be able to access them, support SEND or for competition.

 Over the course of 2025-2026, we will have sent out 512 places for children to participate in a wide range of events, and EVERY child in KS2 has taken part! 

Thankyou to everyone who makes this fantastic achievement possible.
