School Games Gold!
We are delighted to say that we have again been successful in our submission for the School Games Gold award!
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.
Schools need to demonstrate how they are/have:
- maintaining and growing your school’s engagement in the School Games and your delivery of 60 active minutes for every child
- create positive experiences by ensuring physical activity and competition provision is designed to reflect the motivation, competence and confidence of your young people and has a clear intent
- a clear focus on transition points and how secondary schools engage in the School Games
- create positive experiences to support character development of targeted young people
- advocated to key stakeholders how the School Games makes a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people, including engaging and educating parents.

North Yorkshire Cricket Finals
On Tuesday it was an absolute privilege to take the Year 4 cricket team to the North Yorkshire Finals. We represented Dunnington Primary School with true resilience, great fighting spirit and superb behaviour. We faced a strong Saltburn side in our first league match and lost 96 to 72 but this didn’t deter us and the team then went onto win their second league game against a Scarborough side 134 to 42. This meant we went through to the semi-finals based on our run rate being so good across all 3 leagues. We unfortunately lost our semi-final match to a team from Harrogate but played out for 3rd and 4th place. The children and supporters were full of confidence and were determined this one was ours! It went right down to the last ball and we needed 6 off the last ball!!! A six was scored by W and we all cheered with excitement! 3rd in North Yorkshire on a very hot day is a fabulous result.
Well done to A, E, L, S, J, S, W, and T who took part and a huge thank you to the parents/grandparents who supported the children. A brilliant day! Mrs RowntreeMrs Rowntree

Mini Brownlee Triathlon 2023
We hope you enjoy this slideshow of photographs from the fantastic triathlon event last week!
A huge thank you to all the children who took part in the Mini Brownlee Triathlon on Wednesday at York Sport. The weather was kind to us and the sun shone brightly…perfect conditions to experience what it feels like to undertake a triathlon…on a much smaller scale!
48 children from KS2 took part from Dunnington but over 1200 pupils from across the city were involved throughout the day. They started in the pool swimming 75m, went quickly to their own clothes basket and put on their t-shirt and trainers. A quick exit of the side door, whilst handing their basket to a member of pool staff and then onto 800m of biking round a slalom course on the grass. Once completed they ran 300m to a glorious cheer and a well-deserved goodie bag and a bottle of water.
All the children demonstrated great resilience and had huge smiles on their faces as they took part. They cheered each other on in between mouthfuls of popcorn, whilst recovering and were a pleasure to take out of school. There was roughly 8 minutes to get changed in our allotted time slot and the girls narrowly beat the boys! Many thanks to the parents who accompanied us to ensure things ran smoothly. I hope we might have a few keen future triathletes in the making after gaining an insight into this amazing event.Mrs Rowntree

Dunnington Victory Dodgeball Finals!
Dunnington attended the York Dodgeball finals on the training day before the Easter holidays. We were the only school in York to have two teams through to the final’s day. Both teams represented the school really well, displaying fantastic skills and an unbelievable attitude, making sure they were giving everything they had. One of our Dunnington teams finished as winners and the other came fourth in the competition, which is an amazing achievement! Two of the top four teams in the whole of York is fantastic! Mrs Rowntree and Mr Sellers are extremely proud of everyone that took part. Thank you also to the parents who gave lifts and support.
