If you are looking for information on upcoming matches please visit our Sports Desk.
Every pupil has three sessions of games a week, with fixtures played on Wednesdays (Forms 3 – 6), Thursdays (Forms 1 and 2) and Saturdays (Forms 3 – 6), against a network of local and regional schools. Up to 34 teams, including A, B, C, D and even E and F teams if required, may play on any one afternoon, allowing maximum opportunity for pupils to represent the school.
Although the majority of matches are local, on occasion we travel further in order to meet appropriate opposition. Our top teams enter county, regional and national competitions in the major sports and we host many tournaments ranging from the ‘Festival’ style events, for the younger age groups, to county and even regional finals for the older teams.
The major games for boys are football, rugby, hockey and cricket, and for girls are hockey, netball, and cricket. In addition, swimming, athletics and tennis are offered to all children. Squad training for swimming is held after school on a regular basis.
As well as our mainstream games, we take pride in offering a comprehensive range of sports activities to cater for all interests including archery, climbing, dance, Eton Fives, golf, horse riding, judo and sailing.
