Warrington schools celebrate their PE and school sport achievements for 2017

Twenty-nine Primary Schools and Priestley College were at the Halliwell Jones Stadium home of Warrington Wolves to receive their National School Games Mark for their achievements in PE and School Sport throughout 2016/17 academic year from Warrington School Sports Partnership.

Each school brought pupils form their Sports Crews to collect their award with their PE Coordinator and SLT / Governors. During the morning's celebrations, the first team were training on the pitch in the stadium. 
The School Games Mark was in its 6th year at the end of the academic year 2016/17 and has continued to reward schools and other educational establishments for their commitment to and development of competition, school sport and physical education. A stepped criterion helps all institutions assess themselves across BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD levels of the award.
