Formby High School has received confirmation that they have achieved the Platinum Award from the School Games Quality Mark. The Platinum School Games Mark award recognises Formby High School’s commitment, engagement and delivery of competitive sport in 2017/18.
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.
Just this week, the Association for Physical Education (AfPE) awarded FHS with the Quality Mark Distinction for ‘demonstrating outstanding commitment to improvement in Physical Education and Sport’.
The AfPE confirmed that the reasons for a Distinction award are:
