PE lead - Mr Ashley Trudgeon

At St Mary’s Primary School, we have a positive atmosphere and culture surrounding PE, physical activity and school sport. We challenge stereotypes and biases, ensuring that all children have equal access to sport and physical activities regardless of gender or disabilities.

Our physical activity and school sport offer provides children with a vast range of extra-curricular opportunities for all children before they leave us at the end of Year 6. We know that all of our pupils are individuals and are interested in taking part in sports for a variety of reasons. For this reason, we offer opportunities for all children to take part in physical activity for fun or to be more competitive, ranging from being physically active at break and lunchtimes, intra-school competitions in our annual Sports Day or competing for a place in the Sedgemoor squad at the Somerset Finals.

Extra-Curricular Opportunities

School Games

We are delighted to announce that we, St Mary's, have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year.
 
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
