Bolsover District Stepping Stones Awards

Stepping Stones is a basic criteria for clubs to aspire to which aims to reflect good practice in club development. The criteria, created by the Sports Development Team has been developed to support clubs in working towards the nationally recognised accreditation - Clubmark and it will assist clubs in becoming stronger and more sustainable whilst highlighting the good work already being done.

Bolsover District Champion Schools

Our nominees and their background

Half of all Year 5 and 6 pupils have represented their primary school in one of a range of sports – there were over 60 primary events last year across the 5 clusters. We award points for performance and participation in these competitions and the winners annually receive our Champion Schools Awards.

Schools are categorised into 3 equal groups - small, medium and large.

Small School Winner

Our Small School winner again this year simply entered everything. They really do see the educational benefits of a focus on engagement for their pupils. They almost won a Partnership event too, losing by one point to Glebe in the Mini Tennis. They scored virtually twice as many points as any other school – congratulations to Palterton Primary.

Medium School Winner

Our Champion Medium School have continued where they left off last year and have again dominated competitions in this category. Like Palterton a moment ago, they take PE and Sport really seriously and understand the benefits of competition and high quality PE. Well done to Model Village Primary School from Shirebrook.

Large School Winner

Our winner of the Large Schools Award have always featured at this ceremony. This year saw them sending teams in Tri golf, Quadkids athletics and mini tennis to the County School Games event at Trent College in July. People can say that it is easy for a large school but it is the after school clubs and the high quality of PE that stand them out. A fantastic well done to Glebe Junior School
.

Secondary School

At secondary school level, there have been some great achievements and initiatives. Cricket featured highly as it tends to in this district. An under 13 Boys competition saw Tibshelf School go through to the County Final where they did superbly to emerge as runners up.
