This Strategy focusses on the built sports infrastructure and is complemented by a separate Playing Pitch Strategy. The Strategy is informed by a Leisure and Recreation Needs Assessment of the borough’s indoor and outdoor facilities undertaken during 2014-15, and uses the research, consultation, site assessments, data analysis and mapping that underpins the study to set direction and determine priorities. The intention is that it will help to focus investment and add certainty with regard to areas for targeted support and future programmes. The aspirations in this Strategy will rely on securing funding from a range of sources including developers, National Governing Bodies of sport, national and local grant giving bodies, local sports organisations and the council’s various grants programmes, as relevant.

  • We've Been Awarded SMSC Gold Status!
    We’ve been awarded SMSC Gold status! + School Improvement Plan + Uniform Referendum Personal Development Days Mentoring Project ISSUE 37 + + Spring Term 2019 + Rock Challenge + Aachen + School Council and more... CELEBRATING Last Half Term Yet another amazing half term with so much to celebrate! It is with great pleasure that I look through the articles in this edition of Latitude and reflect on what a wonderful school community we are! #CapturingThe MemorableMoments As your Headteacher, I was thrilled to listen to the feedback that we received about the quality of the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) education that our students experience here at Admiral Lord Nelson School. Our Assessor was incredibly impressed with the ease and fluency of our students in articulating exactly how SMSC education can be experienced through all of the subjects that are taught here and through our wider Personal Development curriculum experiences. In particular, our deep commitment to being a UNICEF Rights Respecting School and our longstanding social responsibility work (locally, nationally and internationally) informed his statement that we are one of the very best schools he has visited and we easily met the criteria for the SMSC Gold award! Listening and responding to your feedback has been a key feature of our School Improvement work this year. I’m delighted by the response to surveys from our parents, students and staff that the school leadership (staff, students and Governors) are using to inform how we move our school forwards. The uniform referendum was conducted respectfully with students listening carefully to the views and opinions of others in the lead up to casting their votes at the polling stations.
