We are delighted to announce that St. Anthony’s have achieved the School Games Mark Gold Award for the 2023/24 academic year. 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. This is a fantastic achievement for our school and we are extremely proud of our staff and pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport.
Six children took part in a Mini Skills event at West View – first sporting fixture of the year. We are delighted to say that St. Anthony’s came third and the children were proud to return to school with medals and a trophy. The children were brilliant and really well behaved. Great sporting skills too!
The team took part in the Preston School Football Tournament. The girls did really well and won two games out of four, narrowly missing out on reaching the knockout stages. Later in the same week, the team played in the first round of the Preston School Dick Kerr Cup and won a well-contested match 4-2 versus a strong Harris Side. Well done to Vanessa, Elise, Amelia, Imogen, Fearne, Kristina, Indiana and Jessie.
Our Year 5/6 boys took part in the Preston school football tournament at Play Football. The boys played excellent football and deservedly won the competition in style. A huge well done to Archie, Durell, James, William, Cai, Ernie and Louis.
Six of our Year 3/4 children took part in a mini skills competition at West View. The children completed several relays, catching and throwing events and a football target challenge. The children worked extremely well as a team and they were an absolute credit to our school. Well done to William, Ronnie, Ryan, Imogen, Audrey and Harriet.
