School Games Award – Platinum Mark

SCHOOL GAMES AWARD
We are delighted to announce that St Matthew’s have been awarded the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2025/26 academic year. This is the 5th year running that we have achieved this.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognized for our success once again.
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
