Malmesbury School Sport Partnership Programme Malmesbury Secondary School


The role of the SSCo is: Coordination of school physical activity, physical recreation and sport within the Malmesbury cluster of primary schools


Each academic year Malmesbury Secondary school host and run a number of sports activity festivals for 14 primary schools in the Malmesbury family cluster of primary schools based in the Mid Wilts area. The aim is to support the National Curriculum objectives for Physical Activity in the provision of school sport competitions and to enrich and equip young sports leaders with the opportunity to learn valuable life and leadership skills in the form of officiating, coaching and leading primary aged children across a number of physical activities and sporting events.


We have 14 schools within the cluster, benefiting from our festivals such as


Tag Rugby, Orienteering, Football, Futsal, Hockey, Netball, Tennis, Cricket, Athletics and Cross Country.


In total this year the partnership will have engaged 2372 KS1 & 2 children in a diverse range of sports competitions and participation festivals across 14 primary schools. In addition to this, the competition festivals have given 281 students from KS3 & 4 from Malmesbury Secondary school the opportunity to gain experience as sports leaders in areas such as officiating, judging, scoring, refereeing, umpiring, coaching, leading and most importantly representing the school in


public services. This has been a great year and it has been fantastic to receive great feedback from the primary link teachers who attend the festivals.


‘It was well organised and the four students looking after Lea and Garsdon school did an exceptional job with their warm-ups and were helpful and efficient throughout. Just thought you might like to know. We all had a great day’ Sports co-ordinator, Lea and Garsdon school

In May four of our year 3 and 4 children took part in a Malmesbury Schools cluster tennis festival. They were competing against seven other schools and won nearly all their matches they worked brilliantly as a team to win the tournament. The team will go on to represent the school in the next round in Devizes. The following week four year 6 children represented the school against eight other local schools and put in an amazing performance and won that tournament.
