Silver Sports Mark Award Success

We are delighted to announce that we, St. Helen's Primary School, have achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award for the 2017/18 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 this year include:
- Competing in various cluster events including: Tag rugby, netball, cross country, tennis, basketball events
- Girls footballers being successful in competitions
- Year 3 tennis team being successful
- Having some Year 5 children representing Hartlepool in athletics

With a total of young people competing in local inter-school
competitions this 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 this year.

A special thanks to:
- All the competitors
- Sports leaders & Playmakers
- Parents and Carers
- Miss Stabler
- Miss Kennedy
- Mrs Carter
- Mr Jennings
- L.Garrett
- D.Palmer
- & all the staff at St. Helen's Primary School, who have supported the events and the children's sporting opportunities.

We are going for Gold in 2018-2019.
