Sports Colour Badge Awards

The PE faculty awards colours badges at the end of winter and summer sporting seasons retrospectively to recognise school sport achievements and participation in school sport from the previous term. The colour awards can be awarded to students across multiple sports and activities within the key stage and are linked to the Croxley Danes School values excellence, respect, and trust and the national curriculum. 

Badges are awarded to students who have shown outstanding commitment to extracurricular clubs, or have achieved a high standard of success whilst representing the school either as an individual or as part of a team. The badges identify the sport and are awarded as half colours for KS3, and full colours for KS4 and KS5.
