Cleaswell Hill School

Pupils are offered the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s award as part of their curriculum, we are currently running both the bronze and silver awards at Cleaswell Hill School. To achieve the award pupils are required to; improve their physical fitness, learn a new skill, help improve the community or environment and complete an expedition.

Pupils have access to swimming coaching at local swimming pools, receiving certificates and badges for their achievements. We meet the national curriculum requirement to support all of our pupils, where possible, to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.

We have good links with regional coaching schemes including Newcastle United Football Foundation, (PFC) Professional Football Coaching and Northumberland Cricket Board. Using community facilities such as Seb and Olivia’s den and local leisure centres enables a range of physical leisure opportunities for a large number of our pupils.
