Seaburn Dene Primary School has landed a double sports accolate with two top awards for making a commitment to develop its children to be healthy and the best they can be in school sport.

We are so proud to announce that we have achieved the Platinum School Games Mark award for our commitment and engagement in the School Games for 2021/22 alongside the Great Active Sunderland Schools Charter Gold Standard. A huge well done to everyone who has helped these leading awards - again

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
