Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave service members who have sacrificed for our freedom. # We have achieved the School Games GOLD Award ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-aidan-s-primary-school/images/news/games_gold_award.png) 3 July 2023 We are proud to announce that we have achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2022/2023 academic year with Your School Games. 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 recognised for our success. With a total of young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, 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. We look forward to applying once again in 2024!
