• Gold School Games Mark 2021-2022

  Mon 18 Jul 2022 G Bleakley

  We are delighted to announce that we, Kimbolton Primary Academy, have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2021/22 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

  We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community.

  We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

• Parent Questionnaires

  Fri 29 Nov 2019 Suzi Whiting

  We are pleased to let you know that the recent parent questionnaires were really positive. The good news is that 100% of you agree or strongly agree that your child(ren) is happy at school, 100% of you agree or strongly agree that your child is making good progress at school and 100% of you agree or strongly agree that there is a happy atmosphere at school. Thank you all for your continued support.

   

  There are some areas for development though, as expected, and we will be working on those over the coming weeks and months. 13% of you don't think the children are getting the right amount of homework so we will be looking at what positive changes we can make to our arrangements for home learning and 21% disagree that the school runs enough after-school clubs. This will be more difficult as every teacher (& many support staff) already runs at least one club. I will investigate some external companies to see what else can be offered and come back to you with some ideas of cost.
