We are delighted to announce that Belmont has achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year!
 
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
 
Our sporting achievements during the year included:

• 70% of KS2 attended a sports club.
• 102 children across the whole school attended a sports club.
• 62 children represented the school.
• Hosting our very own Belmont girls and mixed football tournaments.
• Successes at School Games events including 1st in individual boys cross country (3rd overall), 1st New Age Kurling, 5th Girls and mixed football, 1st Tri-Golf, 4th Rounders, 2nd Tag Rugby, 2nd Hockey and 3rd in Netball.
• Playground leaders.
• Young Ambassadors organised events, supported in PE lessons and lead assemblies.
• Intra-school competitions.
• International dance and circus days.
• The Togher trials and Fitness Friday for our well-being weeks.

 
With a total of 62 young people competing in local inter-school competitions during the year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded.
 
We would like to give a special thanks to Inspire+ and our SGO Terry Plumb.
