Importantly, they are also using sport to raise achievement levels across the school.

As a partner Highfields will receive additional training and development opportunities and can become involved in national education and sport initiatives.

Rural Derbyshire School Sport Partnership school sports coordinator at Highfields Jayne Allen said: “We are delighted once again to have gained gold partner status as the opportunities this brings the students is huge.

“Becoming a Youth Sport Trust Partner School recognises our commitment to delivering the best possible experiences for young people through PE and school sport.”
