Facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust, the Platinum award is reserved exclusively for schools demonstrating a long-term commitment to high-quality physical education, inclusive competition, and outstanding leadership. St Michael's stood out for its exceptional student engagement, with over 50% of pupils regularly participating in extra-curricular sports as well as its diverse curriculum, which utilises the school's on-site swimming pool and offers unique activities ranging from traditional rugby and netball to parkour and handball. This consecutive achievement highlights the school's ongoing dedication to fostering healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and sportsmanship across all year groups.
