All students at St Mary’s College have the opportunity to participate in two hours
per week of high quality curriculum physical education. They experience a variety of
activities and have the opportunity at Key Stage 4 and 5 to study a wide range of
academic and vocational qualifications. This was recognised by OFSTED who judged
the department as “outstanding” in June 2011. This was reinforced by a further
Ofsted “outstanding” judgement in 2014 on the quality of school sport competition
available at St Mary’s College and two Gold School Games Marks in 2015/2016 and
2016/2017.
An extensive range of extra-curricular sporting activities is offered. Students have
opportunities to develop a healthy and active lifestyle and participate in a structured
pathway of competitive sport from inter-house competitions through to school
representative sport after school in over 20 different activities. Many students gain
individual and team honours at district, county, regional and national competitions. We
have active partnerships with all 3 professional sports clubs in the city, Hull City, Hull FC
and Hull KR and close links with many of the leading amateur clubs in the area, many of
whom choose to deliver from our stunning sports facilities.

As the world becomes increasingly interlinked and local communities become more
diverse, St Mary’s is in a fantastic position to prepare our students to become true
global citizens, who can contribute positively wherever they may live and work.
St Mary’s College is extremely proud of our status as an International School, and
the many benefits that this brings to the school community.
Since re-designation of the International School Award in 2017, St Mary’s College
staff and students have been involved in many exciting and diverse projects that
have deepened our understanding of different countries and cultures around
the world.
