Sports and Community

Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to sports and community activities, meaning that students enjoy a choice of non-curricular activities and new experiences.

We motivate our students to lead healthy lifestyles and we believe that the core values of good sportsmanship — ambition to succeed, teamwork, leadership and commitment — are valuable throughout all aspects of school life and academic achievement.

Therefore, we offer regular sporting opportunities: football training and weekly league matches, basketball, badminton, horse-riding, tennis, golf, gym and swimming are just some examples.

Sport is also a key part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, combined with service and a chance for adventure on trips to Snowdonia and beyond. Students are able to achieve this prestigious award at Silver and Gold level.
