Sporting Activities
Activity Sessions and Teams
Team practices and activity sessions are offered in a wide range of sports activities and are tailored to the appropriate needs of the different age groups.
The major competitive sports are netball, hockey, football, tennis, cricket and athletics, in which regular competitive opportunities are provided and support is given to the many students who participate at county level and beyond.
Basketball, rounders, cross-country running and rugby are popular club sports, with the provision of occasional competitive opportunities.
Sports Play Days
At the beginning of each term the P.E. Department organise 'Play Days'. These give the students the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of high level performers and coaches.
Internationals such as Tracy Neville (England Netball), Dody Weir (Rugby International) and Blackburn Rovers Football Club have been recent contributors.
Sports Tours
Bi-annual International Sports tours are offered to Senior Pupils. Barbados was a much enjoyed and successful 2003 venue, South Africa planned for 2005 and New Zealand and Australia is being considered for 2007.
A team of boys recently represented the school in the British School Boys' Championships, in Wengen, Switzerland. The Boys will continue to represent the school in Switzerland and the girls' team will be found on the slopes of Flaine in their equivalent event.
Riding is offered as a recreational activity within the activities programme but in addition to this the school supports many serious competitors who involved up to international level.
