The Youth Sport Trust Quality Mark is an assessed award that provides schools with a nationally recognised badge of excellence for PE and school sport. Schools can be awarded a bronze, silver or gold mark. Receiving the highest award, the gold mark shows the value that Chesterfield places on its provision of PE and reflects the whole school approach and commitment to providing a high-quality physical education, school sport and physical activity offer for all pupils.
The mark is awarded based on:
- Overall vision for PE, physical activity and school sport

This highlights that Chesterfield High School is committed to ensuring we offer the best possible Physical Education, school sport and physical activities to our students.
WE SHINE AT NETBALL
One of the most popular extra-curricular activities we provide is our amazing netball club. Netball at Chesterfield has a long history of success in both Sefton and Merseyside. Our success has seen our teams crowned Sefton Champions and Merseyside Champions in recent years and has seen us competing at the County Finals in what is always a superb tournament. We run A and B teams in most year groups and we welcome everyone to come along, have fun and join the Chesterfield netball team. We also enter the National competitions and pride ourselves on fielding teams from year 7 through to year 13. We also try to encourage as many pupils to play and excel further by attending local clubs such as Chesterfield Community netball club and Empire Netball club where we have a lot of pupils also play in Liverpool junior league.
