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.
