A wide range of physical activities is offered throughout the school and we have a full programme of fixtures in the major sports. The main team games for boys are football and rugby in the winter, and cricket in the summer. For girls the major team sports are netball in the winter and rounders in the summer. As well as inter-school competitions we have regular internal inter-house matches throughout the school year.
Although teams are picked on merit, and competition is considered healthy, we are aware that not every child excels at sport. Our wide range of sporting activities makes it possible for each pupil to find something that he or she enjoys and develop a sense of achievement. In addition to the main team games, our range of physical activities includes: gymnastics, dance, orienteering, tennis, swimming, hockey, volleyball and athletics.
In addition, we offer:
- Lunch time and after school sports clubs every day of the week throughout the year.
- 'Dance Week' during the summer term using outside specialists.
- 'Activity Days' at local activity centres for senior pupils.
- Participation in inter-school swimming galas.
