Levenmouth Cluster Schools are First in Fife and Second in Scotland to Achieve SportScotland School Sport Gold Award.

That the Parliament celebrates the schools in the Levenmouth cluster that have achieved SportScotland’s School Sport Gold Award, which recognises the commitment to promoting sport and physical activity among young people; understands that the Levenmouth cluster includes Levenmouth Academy and its associated primary schools, Aberhill, Balcurvie, Buckhaven, Coaltown of Wemyss, Denbeath, East Wemyss, Kennoway, Methilhill, Mountfleurie and Parkhill; further understands that this is only the second such award in Scotland and that each school had to individually meet the Gold award standard, demonstrating dedication to high-quality sport, physical activity and leadership opportunities, and submitting supporting evidence and an action plan; believes that, while some schools achieved Gold status immediately, others worked their way through Bronze and Silver levels before reaching the top level; considers that this achievement is down to the hard work of both staff and pupils, with each school having a dedicated staff member leading the way and young people playing a key role in gathering evidence; is grateful to the active schools team, which, it believes, played a crucial role in supporting schools throughout the process, along with its young ambassadors, who also had a significant impact by promoting participation and encouraging young people to get involved in a range of sporting activities; commends the hard work of the staff, pupils, and the wider community who believe in the value of sport in young people’s lives, and extends its very best wishes for continued success in the future
