Llongyfarchiadau - We've achieved the Activemarc Cymru

This morning we had a letter confirming that we have been awarded the ActiveMarc Cymru.

ActiveMarc Cymru is a schools accreditation scheme designed to offer schools the chance to achieve recognition for its commitment to developing high quality PE and school sport and for promoting the benefits of physical activity. Schools that achieve the prestigious ActiveMarc Cymru status will receive a certificate and will be able to display the ActiveMarc Cymru logo on school documentation and websites for three years.

Mrs Carly and Miss Hatch have co-ordinated our PE in School Sports initiative and the staff and other outside agencies have contributed to our Out of Hours provision.

I am very proud that we have been recognised by the Sports Council of Wales Assessors as a school that is committed to raising standards in PE. I am sure that ActiveMarc Cymru will make a significant contribution to raising the profile of PE, daily physical activity and school sport to the benefit of young people in Wales. We want to make sure youngsters in Gelli get the best possible start in sport. Well done everybody.
