'But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded'

Diocese Inspection Jan 2024

The school is very proactive in encouraging all to enjoy sport. Olympic athletes visit school to inspire pupils and staff. Within a nurturing environment, leaders motivate pupils to find inner strength to attain personal sporting achievements. This significantly develops confidence, extending into all aspects of school life. Furthermore, sport develops pupils’ resilience and leadership skills. It is one of the many ways the school encourages respect for self and others. Pupils are proud to represent school and achieve highly, further embedding the impact of belonging to ‘Team Norton’.

What is it like to attend this school?

'Pupils love attending Norton Free. One parent described it as ‘a lovely little school with a great community vibe’. Pupils are very proud to be part of ‘Team Norton’. Physical activity is at the heart of the school. Pupils compete in a range of sports teams. They learn how to win humbly and lose graciously. Pupils complete their daily mile each afternoon. They know that a healthy body helps them to learn better.'

 'Pupils are extremely positive about all aspects of PE, sport and physical activity. This is the case for each Key Stage. Only a very small small percentage of pupils are not positive about PE, Sport and Physical Activity." (Points Learning Network Data Report, 2019)

"Pupils are very positive about their own ability in PE and Sport." (Points Learning Network Data Report, 2019)
