Headteacher David Brixey, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to become a Youth Sport Trust partner school which recognises our commitment to delivering the best possible experiences for young people through PE and school sport.

“There are a whole range of educational, health and wellbeing benefits from delivering high quality PE and school sport and we see on a regular basis that when sport is delivered well it can transform the lives of a whole range of pupils.”

As a partner Angmering will receive additional training and development and can become involved in innovative sporting initiatives.

Angmering’s head of PE Ed Whiffin said: “It means we can lead the way with exciting new sporting schemes. It’s a great achievement for us.”

Nationally, only 250 schools have achieved the gold partner status.
