We were very proud to receive our ‘Gold’ Award plaque for PE & School Sport 2016-17 today, delivered by the North Shropshire School Games Organiser, Mollie Croxon.
This is our second consecutive year of ‘gold’ standard which is achieved through standards and opportunities provided including extra-curricular clubs, competitive sport and curriculum PE.
