Sports

We provide the opportunity for all pupils to play at the best and most appropriate level for themselves.

This may be at inter-house, inter-school, county or at national level. Core sports are football, girls football, rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, girls cricket, rounders, athletics, swimming and tennis. On top of these sports, we have badminton, basketball, dance and table tennis teams.

Sports tours are a regular feature of our games programme, giving pupils the chance to experience the competition and camaraderie that these events bring to life.

On a serious note, with more and more tournaments on offer, we have a generation of children who are being desensitized to losing.

Losing is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean that we should be satisfied with it!

Hard work, teamwork and a job well done…

The PE and games department looks to motivate children to work harder so that it doesn’t happen again.

We hope to educate children that the true reward is the satisfaction that comes from knowing that they did ‘the best’ they could do.

A trophy should be a reminder of hard work, teamwork and a job well done.

It must not diminish the value of exceptional performance or service – we don’t deserve a party every time we accomplish something!
