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.
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. We are also lucky to have Tennis coaching from Sellindge Tennis Club, which the children are really enjoying. In the Summer Term, the children have high quality cricket coaching from the team at Mersham Cricket Club. Have a look at the ‘Community Sports Links’ page in ‘Our School Community’ section for more information.
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.
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
