That the Parliament congratulates the pupils and staff at Newarthill Primary School on attaining the 2024-26 Gold School Sport Award from sportscotland; welcomes the national initiative, funded by the National Lottery, which encourages schools to prioritise young people in decision-making, planning and implementing extra-curricular school sports, while also fostering stronger sporting connections between schools and their surrounding communities; believes that this award is reflective of Newarthill Primary School’s excellent practice across the core areas of the award and ability to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to increase young people’s opportunities and engagement in physical education, school sport and leadership, and that it provides clear pathways to life-long participation in sport; extends its congratulations to Cross High School in Hamilton, Our Lady and St Francis Primary School in Carfin, and Keir Hardie Memorial Primary School in Newarthill, which have also attained the Gold School Sport Award, and wishes all students and staff at the awarded schools continued fulfilment and success in their sporting activities.
