Upper School Sport
Sport is a very important part of our school life. We strongly encourage participation and a desire to be active and healthy. We work extremely hard to develop sportsmanship and an overall understanding of both winning and losing in order to develop well-rounded children.
We will make sure that your child extends and develop their skills across a number of major sports. But more importantly, they will have fun and enjoy the experience!
Our major sports are football, rugby, hockey and cricket and we have a full calendar of fixtures. Your child will be coached by our enthusiastic, qualified and regularly trained members of staff.
Our facilities include three full sized football grass pitches, six Under 11 football pitches, four dedicated cricket squares, one astro cricket pitch, one floodlit pitch, a sports hall with three cricket net strips, a 9-hole golf course, a heated outdoor swimming pool, an all-weather pitch and cricket nets. There is something for everyone!
