Here at Friarswood, we emphasise the importance of children being active and healthy, putting school sports at the heart of our school.

This prestigious platinum award from the School's Games Mark programme recognises our school's consistent excellence in promoting physical activity and taking part in competitive sports. The government-led initiative launched in 2012, and honours schools for their dedication to developing competitive sports both within the school and the broader community. 

To qualify for this award, we’ve had to meet rigorous criteria, including ensuring students engage in 60 minutes of active play daily; providing equal opportunities for both genders and SEN (Special Educational Needs) pupils; participating in competitions and maintaining a consistent PE curriculum across the school.

A huge 'well done' to all the staff involved who helped us to achieve this fantastic award and a special mention to Ms Cooper who put all the evidence together and organised the sports activity within the school.
