Mersham Primary School have been awarded the School Games Platinum Award. A reflection of how hard the teachers and children value School Sport and leading active lifestyles.
We have now held this award for 10 consecutive years!
Coaches and Community Links
The children continue to benefit from high quality P.E. teaching. This is delivered by our amazing team and supported by our qualified sports coach Mrs Fraser; all classes will benefit throughout the year from his expertise.
At Mersham Primary School we have a committed ‘House Captain and Sports Crew’ who work alongside the P.E. leader to develop sporting opportunities across the school.
Throughout the year, they will be continuing to think about ways we can further develop School Sport at Mersham by thinking of creative ways that we can get children active within the school day and achieve their 60 Active Minutes each day.

60 Active Minutes
At Mersham, we are committed to providing a environment and curriculum that nurtures both children’s physical and mental health. As part of our dedication to children leading healthy and active lifestyles, we use ’60 Active Minutes’ as a resource to promote ways that the school day can be more active for children and share ideas for them to continue with at home.
We aim. as a result. for children to become ‘physically literate’. Physical Literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that provides children with the movement foundation for lifelong participation in physical activity.
60 Active Minutes Vision
- aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a day across the week
- take part in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop movement skills, muscles and bones
- reduce the time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity. Aim to spread activity throughout the day. All activities should make you breathe faster and feel warmer

ADPSSA District Sports 2026
After winning the ‘Small Schools’ tournament in 2024/2025, Mersham were the team to beat going into the competition this year.
Due to the size of the other schools entering this summer, we were placed in the ‘Medium Schools’ section – an extra challenge that all of our budding young athletes took in their stride.
It was a highly contested afternoon and the points for the top three schools were tied going into the final Upper Girls’ Relay – the final race of the day. Luckily we had every faith in our runners and we were able to seal the victory for a second year!
What a team!
