Dylan Guzek was described as ‘an all-round sportsman who plays football for Kettering Town Football Club’ when he picked up his Gretton Sports Performer of the Year award.
Rory Sammon was delighted to win the Individual Achievement Award. Trust Director of Sport Kirstie Smith said: ‘Rory’s enthusiasm and positivity inspires everyone at Gretton to take part in sport. Rory takes part in absolutely everything, always wearing a big smile.’
The Year 6 Sports Crew took to the stage to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Leadership Award. They oversee break and lunchtimes to ensure that students at Gretton Primary School get excellent sporting provision.
Sporting Volunteer of the Year was Finlay Kavanagh. The audience heard that Finlay volunteers to coach younger children in his football club once a week and he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps of becoming a football coach.
Trust Primary schools were also praised for taking part in additional fitness activities.
Miss 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. It is so good to see that these children are learning good habits.’
Huge congratulations to our Year 5 and 6 football team who beat off stiff competition to be named BWT Primary Team of the Year. Miss 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.’
