Senior School PE & Sports
At the Senior School we offer our students a wide range of opportunities within their Physical Education and Games lessons and beyond
Our aim is to give everyone the skills and fitness to take part in physical activity, and more importantly gain a life long love of sport when they move on
The activities are varied so that students not only cover traditional sports such as hockey and football but also net and wall games, striking and fielding games, athletics, gymnastics and swimming.
This approach successfully gives a balance between a healthy lifestyle and competitive sport
Our inclusive House System, inter school matches and after school clubs are designed to give all students opportunities to a plethora of activities
Year 7-9 pupils receive a weekly double lesson of Physical Education. This is mostly taught in co-educational groups, although we have recently started offering the girls the chance to learn football
The excellent local facilities available for the school to use enable us to also offer tennis, badminton and squash
All students across the Senior School receive a triple Games lesson (1 hour 45 minutes), which takes place in the afternoon
During these lessons we deliver most of the traditional team games, as well as some racket sports
We also use this time to run our extensive inter-school sports fixtures
