Having been awarded the Gold school gamesmark for each of the past 5 years, we are very proud to have now been awarded the Platinum gamesmark for 2018-2020, especially as we are one of only 4 schools in Brighton and Hove to have achieved this!
These national awards recognise the outstanding range of extra-curricular sports clubs that are offered to the children at Elm Grove (46 clubs in 19 different sports in 2018-19), as well as the high number of sporting competitions that our children participate in (nearly 60% of Y4-6 children were involved in 2018-19 across 16 different sports).
The platinum award also recognises the extra steps that we have taken to incorporate more physical activity into our school day (eg our daily runs and active classroom breaks, as well as the provision of ‘loose parts’ on the playgrounds at lunchtime).
