"Five primary schools in Walsall have received awards recognising their commitment to promoting sport. Walsall Academy has worked with Bloxwich CofE, Elmore Green, Lower Farm, Little Bloxwich and St Peter's to increase the quantity and quality of physical education they provide. As a result all of the schools have received the Activemark Sports Award.
Graeme Bell - PE teacher at Walsall Academy said; "The schools worked hard to offer their students the opportunity to experience a variety of physical activities with the emphasis on quality teaching and learning. This has obviously reaped rewards as we are one of the few families of schools within the borough to have achieved a 100% success rate in achieving this prestigious award."
