At St. Mary’s, we are proud to offer the children a wide range of sporting opportunities. From swimming to rugby, we understand the importance of encouraging our children to be healthy and active.

Each class in the Junior department attend swimming lessons at Chirk for a block of 6 weeks each school year. We celebrate progress and skill with a Junior Swimming Gala in the summer term, something the children very much look forward to!

Several children in the Juniors took part in a cross-country running race at Ty Mawr Country Park during the Autumn Term. They ran for just over a mile and all completed the course with such determination and enthusiasm!

Our brilliant Netball and Football teams compete in both competitive and friendly matches against local schools. They represent our school brilliantly and always show great and teamwork and confidence! Our footballers even got to meet Wrex The Dragon at an interschools competition! We look forward to playing more matches in the coming weeks!

The children in Years 4-6 have been working closely with Matthew Jones from Active Wrexham – we have been developing our tag rugby and football skills and have played some brilliant games.

We love to get involved with local initiatives too. Our Year 3 and 4 children recently attended a Tennis Festival at Wrexham Tennis Centre. They played lots of games and developed some super tennis skills.

Our Netball Club has re-started in the Summer term and children in the juniors are enjoying skills and game-based sessions after school on a Tuesday. We’ve got a friendly match against Hanmer scheduled for later this term!

Our amazing Year 6 Netball team have also taken part in the Wrexham Schools Netball Competition. They played with great resilience and determination and represented our school brilliantly!

Wrexham 10k Race 

A number of our junior children were given the job of handing out the finisher medals and water to the runners at the Wrexham 10k race earlier this term. Alan Lewis from Adrenaline Sports visited our Friday Awards Assembly and presented the children with their own medal and goodies to say a huge thank you!
