We offer pupils a wide range of sporting opportunities, whatever their ability. Specialist sports lessons commence in Y1, with competitive matches starting in Year 3.
We value participation as equally important as performance. Engaging in sports nurtures teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline and resilience. It's not solely about winning or personal achievements but also about relishing the sport, contributing to the team, and acquiring valuable life skills that extend beyond the game.
From pupils in the earliest year groups all the way up to those studying for IGCSE and A Level in Physical Education, there’s something for everyone, including football, basketball, badminton, netball, athletics, swimming, kayaking and more, making the most of our world-class facilities.
Football
Our pupils love to play football all year round, and can take advantage of our full-size grass pitch and our indoor, air-conditioned Sports Hall when the weather requires. Our boys' and girls' teams play in regular competitive matches against local schools in TISAC, GBAC and SSL events, enjoying the beautiful game in all formats, from 5-a-side up to 11 games, emphasising teamwork and sportsmanship.
There are regular free after-school clubs for regular for pupils in Year 1 and upwards, as part of our comprehensive football program.
