Newfold's Gold Sports Award

 
Here at Newfold, we have a long tradition of excellent sporting provision.  Over the past five years we have looked to extend these opportunities for our community too. 
In recognition of the outstanding sporting opportunities we provide and the exceptional commitment to sports at Newfold, we have been awarded the
 
'Sainsbury's School Games Gold Award'.
 
On Monday 16th November, we had some special visitors in our assembly, to present us with the award.  Pictured are Jordan Flores from Wigan Athletic, Mike Grundy - Professional Wrestler and Sara Bayman - England Netball Player and a former Newfold pupil.
 
 
We are very proud that our work has been recognised and appreciated by the external moderators and thank you to all the staff, volunteers, parents, carers, governors and children whose dedication and enthusiasm has helped us to secure the highly sought after, Gold Award.
