Our ACTIVE ACHIEVEMENT WALL!
Another very important aspect of the Active Schools process is to acknowledge the work and achievements of our pupils in activities and local clubs outside of school! This aspect is just as important in the areas of physical education, activity and sport as it is in all other curricular areas. For any physical activity achievement, be it in school or outside school we encourage our pupils to bring in their trophy, medal, and certificate etc. that they achieved and tell their classmates about it. The children used to also go around to the other classrooms in the school to present their achievement before their photo was taken for display purposes on our active achievement wall and school website! It’s really starting to fill up!!
