Active schools | St Nicholas Primary School

After the fantastic achievement of gaining the Gold School Sport Award last year the school have continued to go from strength to strength. Instead of sitting back and relaxing the pupils have hit a record number of attendances at after school clubs. Compared to last year when 29% of pupils attended an after school club in term one this year 49% of pupils attended an after school club.

Active Schools have worked closely with Miss Miller to put on a range of after school clubs for all the primary stages. Clubs have included football, dance, hockey and tennis.

This term we have spoken to the Health Committee who requested a number of different sports. From these we have a volleyball club starting soon.

All after school clubs will be starting the week beginning 4 February, keep an eye on school bags for letters coming out.

On Wednesday the children of primary six took part in a cross country race against Holy Family PS, Uphall PS, Broxburn PS and Kirkhill PS.

We raced around the back of Kirkhill, the track was about 1 kilometre long. First all the girls raced and we were so pleased to see them all trying their hardest and keeping on going! The first girl from our school to cross the finish line was Madison Clarkson, she just missed out on a medal position but finished in the top 10 of around 100 girls in total! Well done Madison and all the girls who did us proud!

In the boys race Saint Nicholas had a ‘clean sweep’ of the medals winning Gold, Silver and Bronze!!! First to cross the line out of all 100 boys AND taking the gold medal was our very own Logan Beagley, he was closely followed by his brother Michael Beagley in 2nd place and Eoin Sword in 3rd!
