The prestigious award was given to the school following nominations provided by anonymous voters. Despite being unable to disclose the identity of those who nominated the school, Fylde Sports did share some of the reasons Carr Hill was selected. Reasons included:
“Carr Hill dedicates hours of its time to encourage participation in sporting activities. As well as the curriculum offer the school also offers extra curriculum clubs to engage with a wide variety of students.”
“Carr Hill is always looking at ways to improve the offer to its students and that has been evident recently with the introduction of handball. The funding money was sourced and a club set up to deliver a non-traditional sport.”
“Extra curriculum clubs are offered to students on a daily basis and the offer includes traditional and non-traditional sports.”
“Trips in school include sporting activities and trips to places like Birmingham. A dream trip to South Africa has also been offered to students and the academy teams have enjoyed such trips.
Academies Officer And PE teacher Mr Doughty attended the awards with Headteacher Mr Waller, Director of Learning for the Expression Cluster Mr Haydock and the Assistant Director of Learning for the Expression Cluster Mr Grady.
Mr Doughty said: "I am extremely proud and humbled with the recognition of Secondary School of the Year 2015 from the Fylde Council at their recent Fylde Sports Awards. This is a prestigious award which highlights the hard work and dedication the PE department have put into providing opportunities, above and beyond the norm, for our young people.
"Buzzing, Thrilled, Delighted! All words to sum up my feelings about being awarded Secondary School of the Year 2015 at the Fylde Council's recent Fylde Sports Awards.
"The PE department would like to thank Ian Brookes, Sport Development Officer at the Fylde Council, for the opportunities he was given us over the past year. He has helped establish our handball club where we drew funding from the Lancashire Sport Partnership and has also looked at ways to develop our existing clubs and facilities to provide the young people here at school with the best possible experience"
