School Games - GOLD Award!
We are pleased and proud to announce that Queensbridge School has achieved the GOLD School Games Mark award 2024-25
The School Games Mark is a government-led award scheme. It celebrates schools' commitment to developing competitive sport within their school and community.
This is testament to all the hard work and dedication of the teams and staff involved who ultimately provide a wide and varied range of extra-curricular opportunities for all our pupils.
Congratulations to everyone involved.
