We celebrate uniqueness, encouraging and enabling each child to reach their potential.

In pursuit of these aims, we strive towards a more equitable society where all children are able to access high quality education and opportunities, irrespective of their background or family circumstances.

Sports Premium

The Government provide funding to promote physical education (PE) and school sport. This funding is ring-fenced and is allocated directly to schools in England, providing a dedicated resource to purchase invaluable resources, expertise and support. Funding is allocated through a lump sum to each school, based on pupil numbers. 

At STM, we have used the funding to enhance sporting opportunities for all pupils by providing high-quality continued professional development to upskill our staff, buying in local expertise and purchasing resources to support  the development of positive attitudes to sports and promote healthy lifestyles.
