It has been an incredible year for our SSP and the National statistics for the School Games Mark will soon be released...

As a Partnership we have had an amazing 58 successful applications for the School Games Mark which is an increase on last year and from those almost 50% of the schools have moved up an award level which is fantastic work! We also have a total of 25 Gold awards which is 21 more than last year!

This is a result of your hard work so a huge congratulations to all of the schools across the partnership who have worked so hard to sustain and progress their School Games Mark award levels.

Nationally we have been number 1 in the country up to this point but the final statistics will be released in the next few days so I will update you when I know more...

On another positive note our SSP has been shortlisted for a National Award through the Youth Sport Trust and will be announced at the National School Games summit on October 13th. The category is Participation in Competition which is the most competitive category across the country so I have high hopes for our partnership and will let you know the result!

I will be doing an SSP wide press release next week about your successes but I would encourage you all individually to shout from the rooftops about your School Games Mark awards as it is a brilliant achievement for your school. If you would like any help with this please contact me directly.

The full list of awards can be found in the resources section of our website. Well done everyone and I will update you all on the points above when I can.
