St Mary’s College achieves Youth Sport Trust Well Schools Accreditation with a five-star rating!

St Mary’s College in Hull has achieved the Youth Sport Trust 'Well Schools' accreditation with a five-star rating!

The accreditation recognises their whole-school commitment to ensuring the health, happiness and wellbeing of students and staff sitting alongside academic achievement, across the four 'Well Schools' pillars:

Well Culture
Lead Well
Move Well
Live Well

The school is also a Youth Sport Trust Well Schools Beacon School, sharing their practice and experiences to support other schools within the Well Schools community.

Move Well is a particular strength of their Beacon work and St Mary’s is featured within YST's Well Schools resources, showcasing their approach to Creating a Diverse Enrichment Programme.

Their approach uses sport, physical activity and enrichment to promote inclusion, belonging, personal development and aspiration, with a focus on ensuring as many young people as possible can find meaningful opportunities to participate, lead, compete, represent their school and simply enjoy being active.

A fantastic recognition of the work taking place across the whole school community and something we are incredibly proud to celebrate with them.
