A huge well done to the netball teams that went to Joseph Rowntree School before the Easter break. The children representing Dunnington demonstrated some excellent skills against strong opposition from across the York schools. Miss Dickenson and I were very proud of them all finishing in 3rd and 8th place. Thanks to the parents for their support with transport and support!

We also had success with another Y3/4 Dodgeball competition last night and the team won all of their games so watch this space for more details! A great performance and thank you to Mr Sellers for accompanying the team. Please can any Y4 parents who have not returned their slip and payment for swimming do so as soon as possible. Thank you!<span class="su-quote-cite">Mrs Rowntree</span>

We had over 22 children taking part in the York Schools Cross Country races last week. These took place at Askham Bryan College and they are always very well attended by many children from across the city.

A huge well done to all those children who took part and especially Darcey in Y1 who ran the girls Y1 race, Lucas and Otis in year 2 who came 1st and 3rd in their race, and Lance and Jimmy in year 4 who came joint 8th in their age group.

The KS2 boys will go onto a race to represent York in the North Yorkshire Schools event at Giggleswick School on the 23rd November. Many thanks to the parents for providing the children with lifts to this event. It is much appreciated.<span class="su-quote-cite">Mrs Rowntree</span>

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.

Schools need to demonstrate how they are/have:

• maintaining and growing your school’s engagement in the School Games and your delivery of 60 active minutes for every child
• create positive experiences by ensuring physical activity and competition provision is designed to reflect the motivation, competence and confidence of your young people and has a clear intent
• a clear focus on transition points and how secondary schools engage in the School Games
• create positive experiences to support character development of targeted young people
• advocated to key stakeholders how the School Games makes a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people, including engaging and educating parents.
