We are celebrating the successful reaccreditation of the AfPE Quality Mark with DISTINCTION!
afPE
Quality Mark for Physical
Education & Sport - Distinction
Thank you for your re-application for the Quality Mark
for Physical Education & Sport award.
The assessment panel has considered your application,
together with the feedback from the validation visit, and afPE is delighted to
award your school the Quality Mark with
Distinction for ‘demonstrating
outstanding commitment to improvement in Physical Education and Sport’.
Your award is valid for three years, commencing December
2016.
The panel was
extremely impressed by the status of physical education and sport in your
school which is obviously as a direct result of your leadership and management.
Your pursuit of
excellence is demonstrated by your uncompromising and highly successful drive
to improve and maintain the highest levels of achievement and personal development
for all pupils in Sandal Castle School.
The fact that you
have been awarded quality mark with distinction again is testament to the
sustainability of this over a period of time. You have also empowered the
subject leader and others in the PE Faculty to support and develop colleagues
to know what to teach and how to teach it well.
You will receive a certificate, an engraved plaque and
your school will also be listed on the afPE Quality Mark webpage. In addition
the Association will submit a report to the Department for Education (DfE)
which will include details of the successful applicants. There is always a
possibility that a representative from the DfE or Sport England may wish to
visit your school.
On behalf of the Association, I would like to offer you
our congratulations on the successful renewal of your award.
Yours sincerely,
Sue Wilkinson

Welcome to our PE, Health and Wellbeing pages.
At Sandal Castle VA Community Primary School, we firmly believe that every child is entitled to a high quality curriculum which places their physical, social, cognitive and emotional needs at the core of its purpose. Within our curriculum and extra curricular entitlement, a fully inclusive programme of PE, swimming and sport features prominently. Children are encouraged to participate in a wide range of after school clubs and our Easter and Summer Sports Camp opportunities are proving to be very popular. Our after school clubs remain free of charge.

Change4Life is an awarding programme designed to promote behaviour change in relation to the health and well- being of the whole school community. By becoming a Change4Life school we will be focusing on our mental and physical well -being whilst promoting the love of exercise and benefits of healthy eating. As there is a close link between pupil health, well-being and attainment at school, we feel this is a vital part of school life where good examples of healthy eating and exercise can be shown and embedded into every day routines. We are all very excited to start this journey and are looking forward to seeing the benefits of these healthy life choices both at school and at home.
