🏆 Kentmere Academy – Proud to Be Shortlisted! 🏆

We were incredibly proud to be nominated for the School Commitment to PE and Sport Award at the Rochdale Borough Active Awards!

This award recognises schools that have gone above and beyond to incorporate physical activity into the school day, ensuring pupils have opportunities to be active, develop their sporting skills and lead healthy lifestyles.

Out of hundreds of schools across the borough, Kentmere Academy was shortlisted as one of just three schools invited to attend the awards ceremony. Although we didn't take home the award this time, we are extremely proud to have been recognised for our commitment and dedication to providing opportunities for all our children to enjoy sport, stay active and keep healthy.

A huge well done to Edgar Wood on winning the award! 👏

We would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs Grierson, our PE Co-ordinator, for all her hard work, enthusiasm and dedication in ensuring our children have access to fantastic sporting opportunities both in and out of school.

After a break for half term, D6 returns this Saturday! ✨

Is your child in Year 5 or 6? Bring them along to our peer coaching session this weekend! It’s brilliant for building confidence, as pupils get to take the lead and choose what they want to work on - whether that’s tackling tricky maths problems, polishing up spellings or practising a brand new skill.

They’ll get supportive, side-by-side coaching alongside their classmates and our fantastic Year 9 student coaches plus, a FREE breakfast is included to keep them fuelled and ready to go! 🥐🍏
