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 school's sporting achievements this year include:
Panathlon Winners
New Age Kurling Winners
Indoor Athletics Winners
Netball League 1 Winners
Netball Tournament Third Place
Hockey Tournament Winners and Runners Up
Swimming Gala Relay Runners Up
Town Sports Athletics Winners
Grantham Town FC Gingerbread Trophy Winners
With over 100 KS2 children competing in local inter-school competitions this year, 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 their application, they were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and the school are pleased that the hard work of everyone has been rewarded this year.
A special thanks to:
School Games Organisers, Chris Graves and Sharon Bray, who have worked tirelessly this academic year to provide as many opportunities as possible for the children. Mrs Atter, Laura Jones and Mr Doughty, who go above and beyond everyday to ensure the children get the highest quality PE lessons. They provide extra curricular opportunities, ensuring the children are well prepared and supported for all events. To the school senior leaders, who support the vision for PE at Isaac Newton and value the importance the School Games Programme brings.
But the biggest thank you of all, has to go to the Isaac Newton children. Their dedication to PE and competitions is outstanding. They’ve worked extremely hard this year and have seen phenomenal results. The school hopes they’ve enjoyed the last year and have taken away some wonderful memories!!
Up the Apples!!
