We have set up a St Mary's Sports Council to ensure that pupil voice is an integral and consistent part of the development of physical education. The Sports Council is represented by two children from each year group.
The Sports Council supports adults on the playground by helping to keep the playground equipment organised and tidy, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone during playtime.
Each half term, during Celebration Assembly, the Year 6 Sports Council reports on the sporting events that have taken place throughout the school. The children write their own reports, focusing on the positives and the values demonstrated in the matches or games.
The Sports Council meets once per term to discuss physical education at St Mary’s. This includes topics such as lunchtime and playtime activities, out-of-school clubs, resources, sporting events, P.E lessons, and the overall profile of P.E. in the school. Minutes and required actions are documented during each meeting to ensure progress and follow-through.
