Sports Premium Spending

St Mary's Catholic Primary School is a vibrant, nurturing place that provides an emotionally safe and welcoming environment in which to learn and thrive. As a Voluntary Aided School, we are committed to delivering a high-quality education that is rooted in the Gospel values and the principles of the Catholic Church.

 

At the heart of our school's vision is a dedication to helping our pupils become responsible, hardworking, and well-skilled members of the future workforce, as well as caring and thoughtful adults in the community. To this end, we place a strong emphasis on promoting physical health and wellbeing through our sports and physical activity offerings.

 

Keeping Healthy and Active

One of the key ways we work to achieve our vision is by having nutrition, exercise, and keeping mentally and physically healthy at the core of our decision-making. We believe that regular physical activity not only supports the overall health and development of our pupils but also helps to foster important values such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.

 

High-Quality Provision

To ensure that our pupils have access to a wide range of engaging and enriching sports and physical activities, we are committed to using our Sports Premium funding to provide the best possible resources and teaching. This includes:

 

• Employing qualified sports coaches to deliver high-quality, age-appropriate instruction
• Investing in a variety of sports equipment and facilities to support a diverse curriculum
• Offering a range of after-school sports clubs to encourage further participation
• Ensuring that all activities are led by staff who prioritise the safety, supervision, and enjoyment of our pupils

Inspiring a Love of Sport

By delivering a sports and physical activity programme that is both challenging and fun, we aim to inspire our pupils to develop a lifelong love of sport and physical activity. We want our children to leave St Mary's with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead healthy, active lifestyles, and to continue to explore their athletic interests and talents.

 

Conclusion

At St Mary's Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing our pupils with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to thrive, both academically and physically. By investing in high-quality sports and physical activity programmes, we are not only promoting the health and wellbeing of our students but also reinforcing the values of our school community, which are centred on respect, inclusion, and a dedication to helping each child reach their full potential.
