We are national winners!
So proud, thrilled and beyond delighted to announce we are the @isaschools Independent Schools Association Small School of the Year for Outstanding Sport!
Huge congratulations to our incredible @mylnhurst_sport department for their dedication and commitment to the best and most inclusive sports provision at our beautiful little school, and to all the hours they put in to delivering such unrivalled sports opportunities for all our children.
The awards ceremony in Kenilworth was nothing short of thrilling and we could not be more delighted for Mrs Buchanan, Mr Holmes and Mrs Newton that their tireless hard work as a PE department has been recognised at national level.
We have always known Mylnhurst’s sports provision is top tier. To have that confirmed by an independent panel of judges makes it irrefutable.
The judges said: “A single-form entry school with just 120 pupils, Mylnhurst boasts a British champion in biathlon, national-level swimmers, and the city’s fastest schoolboy runner.
“Their inclusive approach ensures every child participates, supported by inspirational expert staff and impressive facilities, making their widespread sporting excellence truly remarkable for a small school.”
The ISA Awards are open to no fewer than 770 schools across the country and represent the gold standard in independent education.
Mylnhurst was one of only two schools in the whole of Yorkshire, and one of only six from the entire North of England, shortlisted in the awards, and the only primary in our category: we were up against a through-school in Worcestershire for children aged three to GCSE, and a secondary in Leicestershire with its own football and motorsports academies!
To be crowned winner against such heavyweight competition is a truly phenomenal achievement – not just for our sports department but for our little school and our incredible staff as a whole – and we are excited to plan a day to celebrate with the children in the next few weeks.
We are a small school where big things happen.
Thank you all, so much, for being a part of it.
