• PLATINUM School Games Award

  Fri 05 Sep 2025

  We are delighted to announce that we, George Tomlinson Primary School, have achieved the School Games PLATINUM Mark Award for the 2024/25 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.

  With 100% of KS2 pupils attending a sports event, 82% attended more than one event and 48% of our KS1 young people competed in local inter-school competitions, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport.

  As part of our application, we were asked to fulfill 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 of the children here at GT and to Jade, Mr Brown, Mrs Loonat and all our support staff who support on PE trips

  We look forward to applying once again in 2026!
