The Comberton Sports Blue

Named after the University Cambridge Blue, The Comberton Sports Blue aims to recognise the pupils at Comberton who compete and perform to the very highest standard in sport and dance.

The Comberton Blue recognises all sports and all forms of dance. It is inclusive but is based on achievement not just participation.

Required Standards

To achieve a Full Sports Blue a pupil must be playing or performing at National level or performing at the very highest standard available.

To achieve a Half Sports Blue a pupil must be playing or performing at county standard and above, or the equivalent.

Not all sports, and certainly not dance, have structures that allow pupils to represent Cambridgeshire, England or Great Britain. In those cases, successful applications for a Blue are made on a judgement based on ‘equivalency’ to county or national standard.

Applications

Applications are to Mr Wilce (Head of Physical Education) via the Microsoft forms at the bottom of the page.

Applications should provide very brief details of the highest level of achievement, the date when this had occurred and should be signed by the pupil and counter signed by the parent/carer. If a pupil has a coach, applications should include the name of the coach and the coaches email address and contact phone number.

There is a section where additional information can be added, including sporting context and any additional achievements etc.

Awards

A Full Blue is a school shirt ‘decorated’ with a Comberton Blue insignia.

A Half Blue is a school pin badge.

Comberton Blue awards are celebrated during assemblies at the end of each term, please ensure you submit your applications within plenty of time to be considered, or applicants will be recognised at the end of the following term.

Term 1 Deadline – 7^th December

Term 2 Deadline – 15^th March
