- Organise inclusive competitions that offer positive experiences tailored to pupils’ confidence, motivation and ability
- Support personal development through youth engagement and leadership initiatives
- Provide equal opportunities for all pupils, irrespective of gender
Speaking about the achievement, PE Lead Harriet Brewer, said the school is incredibly proud to have secured the GOLD standard once again, recognising the collective effort of pupils and staff in creating a positive and inclusive sporting culture.
