We are delighted to announce that we, Rowlands Gill Primary School, have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2025/26 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 young people have competed in a whole host of 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 Gateshead School Sport Partnership for providing valuable opportunities for all, thank you to our dedicated staff for supporting the children in their care. But most of all, thank you to our fantastic children who make us proud every single day by showing their fantastic sporting spirits!

We look forward to applying once again in 2027!
