Sport
It's great to be taught by one of the best coaches in the country
- Year 8 Archer
"
The School is committed to "sport for all" and, as such, a programme of physical education (which incorporates health and fitness and a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology) is taught throughout the school as part of the core timetable. In addition, each year group has the opportunity every week to take part in the main team sports - both in games lessons and (for those who are particularly keen) in extra curricular sports clubs. The School's fixture list is extensive, comprehensive and adheres to our inclusive ethos. Thus, we aim to offer fixtures for a range of abilities.
Major Games for boys are football and cricket, with some rugby, hockey, tennis and athletics.
For girls, netball, hockey and rounders are the main sports, with girls also enjoying hockey, tennis, athletics and (increasingly) football.
In addition horse riding (additional charge), swimming, martial arts and archery are offered as activities. The school makes use of good local facilities and coaches for these. The school also makes use of a nearby Astroturf pitch for matches and training.
