Buckingham School v2

A Specialist Sports College

We are the hub site for The Buckingham School Sport Partnership – a ‘family’ of 41 secondary and primary schools. The SSP, led by Mrs Howard is one of the most successful in the country providing a high quality sport and physical education experience for all young people in our family of schools. Mrs Howard works very closely with Headteachers at our partner schools to ensure that we:

• support the schools in developing physical education and sport
• engage and involve more young people in community sport
• identify, deploy and develop appropriate young people as leaders, coaches and officials;
• support the identification and development of talented young performers
• work with the Curriculum Leader for PE to monitor and evaluate the impact of PE and school sport in raising whole school standards at The Buckingham School and in our partner schools.

The Buckingham School students are amongst the best Sports Leaders in the county. They engage in a variety of leadership opportunities at The Buckingham School, across our family of schools locally and across the partnership; such as helping out with the organisation and running of primary school sports festivals as well as after school and lunchtime clubs. This helps to build their confidence and develop our students as future leaders, many of whom have already gone on to a future in teaching, coaching and officiating.
