Junior School Sport
Sport
Physical Education, including swimming, is an important part of the curriculum, providing the children with regular exercise. Infant and junior pupils develop their skills in regular PE lessons, taught by a specialist teacher. Sports taught to the junior children in weekly games lessons include:
- Athletics
- Cricket
- Cross country running
- Football
- Hockey
- Netball
- Rounders
- Tennis
Most sports are also offered as clubs, run at lunch times and after school. The school has a strong fixture list against other state and independent schools. Matches and competitions take place during the week and on Saturdays.
A typical Saturday morning in the Autumn or Spring terms will involve A, B and C teams playing football and hockey matches against another school, whilst a Saturday during the Summer term will be busy with cricket and tennis matches. We endeavour to give all the children who regularly attend a sports practice the opportunity to represent the school.
