It is GOLD for Riverside Primary School for a second year!

We are delighted to announce that we, RIVERSIDE PRIMARY, have achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year.

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

Our physical activity and school sport achievements this year include:
- Being placing second in the Year 5/6 Boy football league.
- By participating in 3 football leagues and a netball league. 
- Participating in festivals and competitions throughout the year. 
- By providing a range of extra curricular clubs, we have had our biggest intake yet.
- Took part in the dance festival at The Palace Theatre.
- Competing in the Districts competition, coming back with medals from a range of events and placing 3rd place overall! 

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible.  

We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community.  We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been awarded this year.

A special thanks to:
- Miss Livermore (PE Lead)
- Miss Black (Sports Coach)
- Mrs Smith (Headteacher)
- Mrs Rice and Ms O'Driscoll for supporting.  
- Our School Sports Partnership (SSP).

 We look forward to applying once again in 2024!
