Against some tough national competition Budehaven Community School has been awarded the SLQ ‘National Sports Leadership Academy of the Year’ award.
SLQ are the awarding body for sports leadership qualifications and we are delighted to recieve this prestigious award.
Mrs Hilton, Head of PE and Sport Science, said “I am incredibly proud of our former and current Sport and Science leaders. They have worked with immense pride, enthusiasm and maturity; consequently contributing towards this award. The Year 10 and 6th form students plan, prepare and evaluate many festivals, tournaments and events throughout the academic year for all of our local Pre & Primary Schools; coordinated by Rob Francis (Budehaven Community Leisure). Many students in 6th form also volunteer extra time to support our core PE lessons; helping to inspire the younger students. There is always such a great uptake of Level 3 Leaders in 6th form, this is great considering the qualification carries UCAS points to get to University plus we could never offer the same opportunities to our local community without them. The awards and qualifications give the students so many transferable skills that impact their behaviour and attitude in lessons as well as their motivations for future career ambitions. I really do value the importance of leadership and want to congratulate each and every student.”
