PE and Games

Via lessons and extra-curricular activities, every pupil is given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities.We hope that everyone will find one or more sports that they enjoy, and that they will feel confident enough to participate in sport after they have left school.

From year 3-13 we run successful teams in the major games (hockey, netball, tennis, rounders, athletics and cross-country for the girls; football, rugby, cricket, athletics, tennis and cross-country for the boys in the junior school). We regularly have fixtures against other schools and enter inter-school tournaments and county competitions in all the above sports. There are also Inter-House competitions in each of them which are keenly contested.

Year 10 girls experience a wider curriculum, with badminton, basketball, volleyball, tag rugby and football being added. Rowing (indoor and on the water), squash, fitness classes, ultimate Frisbee are further activities added for Years 11-13.

Gymnastics is also taught as part of our curriculum up to Year 9. We produce an annual gymnastics display, involving girls and boys from Year 3 upwards. Each year is also involved in a year group display or competition.

In the Junior School swimming is taught from year 3-6 and teams are selected for various Gala�s throughout the year.

Rowing is also a major activity; since it�s introduction in 2005/06 we have had at least 3 teams every year who have been National Champions in the Concept 2 Indoor Rowing Schools League. We enter teams of 4�s and 8�s from each year group from Year 6 up to VIth form.
Physical Education is also taught, very successfully, at GCSE, AS and A2 levels with many girls continuing their studies into Further Education.
