Marton Primary Academy and Nursery

We're delighted to announce we've achieved the School Games GOLD Mark for 2025/26.

The Government-led award run by the Youth Sport Trust recognises our commitment to competitive sport in school and community, and we're proud. Many pupils, volunteers, leaders and officials competed this year — their dedication made competitions possible. Our application covered participation, competition, workforce and clubs — we're pleased everyone's hard work was rewarded.

Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.
