Physical Activity Specialist Award: 1 December 2022 to 1 December 2025

Congratulations to Fair Furlong Primary School on achieving the Physical Activity Specialist Award.

The strengths of their submission included (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Ensuring their pupils are active even during a bad weather by investing in all-weather surface and gear.
  • Actively promoting physical activity to the whole school community by assemblies, PSHE curriculum, school website, a new termly newsletter, inviting parents to join in during healthy and safe week, and providing physical activity sessions to staff and encouraging active travel.
  • Committing to inclusion in physical activity and reducing barriers pupils have reported to participating by working with coaching providers to provide individual mentoring for children, ensuring all after school clubs and extra-curricular activity with competitions are free using sports premium, providing a fully stocked supply of spare kit and having a flexible kit clothing policy.

Fair Furlong is most proud of the inclusion of their disabled children in whole school events such as sports days and week-long camps and a change in mindset seen amongst girls engagement in sport and physical activity and increased girls participation in extra-curricular physical activity events.

Well done Fair Furlong Primary!
