Our sports programme is designed to help our students ‘be the best that they can be’. We
believe that developing confidence and self-esteem in sport through positive experiences
allows success to be experienced across all aspects of a student’s education. As well as
organising fixtures against other schools, we have a programme of inter-house sport, so that
pupils experience competitive sport on a regular basis enabling the further development of
team spirit. The annual sports day, an inter-house event, is a traditional athletic event where
every pupil has an opportunity to take part.
