Miss Golawska - PE Subject Lead
A Vital Part of the Curriculum
Our Lady of Lourdes believes that Sport and Physical Education is integral to our pupils’ education and wellbeing. We have many sporting successes at both local school and county level. By offering a wide range of curricular and extra curricular activities we aim to give every child a chance to participate in and enjoy sport.

School Games Platinum Award 2025/26
In the summer of 2025, we were awarded the School Games Platinum Mark — the highest accolade possible! This recognition celebrates many years of sustained excellence, beginning with our first award all the way back in 2013. After achieving Gold status for five consecutive years, we submitted a case study detailing how we’ve embedded positive experiences of competition and its impact on participation. This was a vital part of the assessment and played a significant role in us securing the Platinum award.
Launched in 2012 and facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust, the School Games Mark acknowledges schools that keep young people active and engaged through sport. At OLOL, we’re proud to use sport and physical activity to reach every pupil—whether as participants, leaders, volunteers or officials. Our aim is that every child has a positive experience in sport, building confidence that lasts far beyond their time at school.
Sports Leaders
Children in years 3 – 6 have the opportunity to become ‘Sports Leaders’. These children will be involved in many tasks throughout the year, helping the school and supporting Miss Golawska in her role. They may be asked to help organise sporting fixtures, referee/umpire games being played by younger children, update the notice board, audit and order PE equipment and maintain the equipment we already have, as well as having plenty of opportunities to represent the school in sporting fixtures.
