At St Mary's, our primary focus is on directing the PE and Sports Premium funding towards sustainable and high calibre initiatives. These endeavours serve to not only enrich our school's physical education and sports programmes but also to instil a culture of health and activity amongst our children. The supplementary funding is allocated towards comprehensive Continued Professional Development (CPD) programmes. We work alongside our PE providers, PSD, to strengthen the confidence, knowledge and expertise of our teachers. This investment further allows us to diversify the range of sports and activities available to our pupils, thereby fostering increased participation in both curriculum-based and extracurricular pursuits.

Furthermore, we utilise these resources to impart valuable lessons on healthy eating habits and nutrition to our pupils. The implementation of Houses at St Mary's has also provided a platform for inter-house competitions, facilitating the development of leadership skills amongst our pupils.
