PE and Sport Grant

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School understands and values the importance of physical activity and sport. The school is passionate about allowing all children to develop what will hopefully become a lifelong appreciation of physical activity and sport. The children are encouraged to undertake a range of sports and activities both within the Physical Education (PE) curriculum and also in extra-curricular activities.

Within the school day, St Mary’s encourages learning in all aspects of the PE curriculum with two weekly planned lessons covering Gymnastic, Dance, Athletics or Games based activities. 

As a school, St Mary’s is proud of the opportunities that are provided through extra-curricular and competitive sport for the children. In the past twelve months the following range of sporting clubs have been on offer to children within the school: Cricket, Dance, Football, Fencing, Multi-skills, and Running Club.

The school has competed competitively in the following sports: Benchball, Dodgeball, Cross Country Running, Football, Swimming, Olympic Games and Tag Rugby.  

The following documents explain how much funding St Mary's received through the Sports Premium Grant along with a full breakdown of how the school has spent the funding or will spend the funding.
