King Arthur's School has been named a Youth Sports Trust gold partner in recognition of its commitment to physical education and school sport. As a result, the school will receive training and development opportunities and become involved in national education and sport initiatives.
Chris Beech, headteacher at King Arthur's School, said: "This recognises our commitment to delivering the best possible experiences for young people through sport and physical education.
"There are a whole range of educational, health and wellbeing benefits from delivering high quality PE and school sport, and we see on a regular basis that when sport is delivered well it can transform the lives of pupils."
