Gosforth Academy has been named one of the Top 200 Sports Schools nationally based on its performance in several sporting competitions. The top 200 chart celebrates the best of the best, with state schools battling it out with their independent rivals on the same list. And the list rates performance above everything else, with results compiled from more than 20 sports and more than 120 events. Schools usually have to reach the later stages of at least two, three or four national competitions to make the list.
This year, Gosforth Academy was ranked 80th in the country for sports performance, which is down to students excelling across a range of sports, including netball, football, basketball, athletics, badminton, squash and Rugby Sevens. This position puts us in the top 2% of schools nationally!
Congratulations must go to all the students who have represented teams over the years, and, of course, a huge thanks to all colleagues who run teams and give up their time so generously. We look forward to another successful year of sport culminating in our end of year Sports Awards Evening on Wednesday 2nd July 2025.
