The Arches School Sport Partnership wishes to recognise the hard work that goes in to Physical Education and Youth Sport both in schools and within community settings across the city of Sheffield. The high quality opportunities that are provided mean that children have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential in their chosen sport.
The Arches Athletes Programme looks to highlight young people who are already on their way to becoming sporting superstars and hopes that this recognition will further inspire then to keep going!
As well as this the Arches School Sport Partnership have a Gifted and Talented Programme throughout our competition structure and hold Gifted and Talented Holiday Camps which include, inspirational talks, professional athlete testing and nutritional guidance for our stars of the future.
