SPORT
Our programme of games and matches is designed to encourage excellence, but also participation.  The Head of Games, Mr Jim Mostyn, is keen that all pupils take an active part in sports.  There is a very busy fixture list, including matches both at home and away.  There is no extra charge for travel to matches.  parents are always invited to attend fixtures, and tea is provided afterwards, which again parents are welcome to attend.  These matches are listed in the School Calendar, and on The Week Ahead.

Our major sports for girls are hockey in the first term (using our floodlit Astro Turf), netball in the second term and tennis (or rounders for juniors) and swimming in the third term.  Athletics is also an option in the third term.

For boys, the main sports are rugby or football in the first term, hockey in the second term, and cricket in the third term.  However, cross country running, squash, badminton and basketball are also widely played, together with tennis and athletics in the summer.

We are particularly strong in gymnastics, cricket and netball, and we also have a specialist swimming club.  We play matches in table tennis, badminton, fives and volleyball, and there are House competitions in other sports, including golf.  The new fitness suite and the indoor rowing machines are both particularly popular aids to fitness and strength.
