Top award for MVC

13th October 2016

Melbourn Village College has been awarded the top School Games Mark awards for its excellent provision of PE, school sport and competition.

And two of their partner primaries, Harston & Newton and Meldreth primary schools, were also among the 13 schools to receive the Gold award, while Melbourn Primary collected the bronze award.

A total of 33 schools in the South Cambs School Sports Partnership achieved the nationally-recognised award for 2015-16 at bronze, silver or gold level.

Partnership Manager, Claire McDonnell said, “This is a significant increase on the number of schools that gained an award last year.  Schools achieving the coveted Gold award demonstrate a whole school approach to PE and sport, they have the wholehearted support from their head teacher and provide opportunities for all pupils at all levels. As well as this they are a community hub for sport, encouraging involvement from parents and community groups.”

“I really am delighted that more schools are now being recognised and rewarded for their hard work and commitment to provide the very best opportunities for their pupils, it is a fantastic achievement.

 “I am also pleased that we have more schools than ever before gaining a Bronze award and I hope with further support and encouragement we can help them to go on achieve higher.”
