Newbattle High School has had a highly successful year of extra curricular sport thanks to grants from the Lottery Awards for All , Sport Scotland Fit For Girls , SFA Soccer One, Parents Association and Midlothian Active schools.

Alongside the existing highly successful Football teams , Newbattle now has well kitted out Basketball, Netball, Hockey and Rugby teams all competing in their Scottish Cups.

The Dance groups who were performing at the SECC Glasgow last week for Sport Relief are staging regular Dance Showcases and performing in local Primary schools.

Attendance has been boosted at all after school clubs thanks to the Lottery funded SportBus which has taken children home safely every night ,after clubs, through a long hard Winter.

Newbattle pupils, parents and staff have been delighted with the support that has given a huge boost to Health & Well being in the whole Newbattle  community, and wanted to thank all of the sponsors, by arranging a photo with two members of each team in their brand new kit and equipment.

Mr Foley, Head of PE said “To see every team so well trained and  kitted out, proud to represent Newbattle High & Midlothian, all over Scotland, makes pupils and staff very proud. We look forward to continued support, and taking Sporting participation in school, be it recreation or competition ,to our whole community”
