School Games Mark

The School Games Mark is a government-led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.

Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.

We are very proud at Norton Primary School to have achieved the 'Gold' school games mark for the third year. In previous years, we have been awarded both the Bronze and Silver award. We think this is a great reflection of our commitment to physical education and the opportunities we provide for children to support their character development and mental health.

Sports Ambassadors

Each academic year, children in Year Six have the opportunity to apply for the role of 'Sports Ambassador'. This role provides children with the basics of leadership skills and helps to promote physical activity across the school. Each week the sports ambassadors meet with the school's PE lead to discuss current events they have been running or to plan out new ideas. 

Recently, the current Year Six sports ambassadors have run the following events during lunchtime:

- Skipping challenges

- Hockey club for Y3/4 children

- Weekly sports challenges (such as: how many basketballs can you throw into the next in one minute? How many shuttle runs can you do in one minute?)

PE Enrichment

Each half-term we have a PE enrichment day. 

Every class is given the chance to take part in a sport or activity that they may not otherwise experience. For many pupils, this provides a unique opportunity to discover something completely new, and in some cases, it may even be their very first time trying a particular sport.
