Longfields has achieved the Youth Sport Trust GOLD QUALITY MARK this year, as well achieving the Gold School Games Mark during the summer term last year.

Longfields has been awarded the Youth Sport Trust Gold Quality Mark for its commitment to physical education (PE) and school sport. The Youth Sport Trust is a national charity that builds a brighter future for young people through the power of sport. The Quality Mark provides schools with a nationally recognised badge of excellence for the quality of its PE and school sport. We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded the Gold Quality Mark from the Youth Sport Trust, which recognises our commitment to delivering the best possible sporting experiences for the young people at our school. There are a whole range of educational, health and wellbeing benefits from delivering high quality PE and school sport, and we see on a regular basis that when it is delivered well it can transform the lives of all pupils. Alison Oliver, Chief Executive at the Youth Sport Trust, sent us congratulations for achieving the Youth Sport Trust GOLD Quality Mark, adding "PE and school sport helps young people to live healthy and active lives and through it, helps them achieve their personal best in school and life."
