Physical Education
The school has its own extensive playing fields, gymnasium / hall and an all-weather surface with floodlights. The sporting programme is designed to develop individual skills whilst teaching children to work together in teams. Boys have the opportunity to play rugby, hockey, football and cricket whilst girls have hockey, netball and rounders. All children follow a programme in dance, gymnastics and tennis. Swimming is an essential part of the curriculum in the junior department; children also have the opportunity to participate in athletics and cross-country running.
Every pupil is given the opportunity to play in the school teams. Inter-school
matches are arranged and there is participation in local competitions. House
matches are important in that they allow all players to experience the delight
and honour of playing a competitive sport. The inter-house swimming gala and
sports are both very enjoyable occasions which take place in the summer term.
