BWT Active Primary School of the Year: Winner- Peckover Primary School

Kirstie Smith said: ‘This year within the Trust we have focused on boosting physical activity within our schools with the introduction of a daily physical activity task such as the Daily Mile and Go Noodle. The Daily Mile makes children fitter, healthier, happier and has a positive impact on their behaviour and concentration levels. It is simple but effective, enabling every child, including those with special needs, to be active every day. Go Noodle is a video tool which encourages pupils to move with purpose to a variety of videos across the curriculum.

‘In terms of deciding who wins this award I looked at the data from the schools, how many miles and how many minutes they had done. Peckover Primary School clocked up 3,227 Go Noodle minutes beating all the other schools in the Trust. I want to say to all the other primary schools that you are all winners. I am so proud when I come in on my Fridays and see you doing the Daily Mile, most schools do different things, for example Gretton does a daily fitness activity. It is so good to see that these children are learning good habits. Well done to Peckover but well done to everyone.

Kirstie Smith said: ‘The team has really grown this year particularly when they won the Small Schools Tournament. They came first out of 64 schools in Northamptonshire. Well done to all the other teams as well as there have been some fantastic results this year.’

Well done to the other contenders:

Beanfield Y5 and 6 football team

BWA managed to come out on top and win 2-1 on penalties to go through to the regional finals, which was a first in BWA history for handball.’
