The Physical Education programme covers a wide range of activities including games, athletic activities, gymnastics, dance, outdoor and adventure activities and swimming.

Whilst the emphasis is on enjoyment and the acquisition of skills, it is intended that pupils will gain an awareness of physical fitness, co-operation, teamwork, responsibility and competitive spirit.

There is on offer an extensive extra-curricular programme, which reflects the particular preferences and strengths of the Staff. Some clubs are geared towards inter-school teams while others are aimed at the enthusiastic, though less talented. A Sports Day is organised during the Summer Term and will be based on our new House system.

The inter-school teams at present are:

Football Netball Basketball

Cricket Swimming Gala Tag Rugby

Rugby Athletics Cross Country
