Games & Co-Curricular Activities

Our pupils want to be rounded, experienced and world-ready. We want to help them. That’s why each day, once lessons are over, all our pupils take part in our award-winning co-curricular programme and benefit from our outstanding sport provision.

Our sportspeople and team have won numerous national titles in the past few years, and our co-curricular programme has received national recognition, being named ‘best of the best’ by The Week.

Sport

Our aim is to remove every barrier to taking part, so pupils develop a passion for sport regardless of ability. Across 22+ sports, our coaching staff consists of former Olympians and internationals. They take as much satisfaction from a pupil’s personal victory (taking their first wicket, jumping a hurdle) as from an A-team’s national title.

Games lessons are delivered on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Fixtures may take place on Wednesday afternoons and on Saturday mornings. The major games are:

Michaelmas Term

Rugby for boys
Hockey and netball for girls

Lent Term

Breadth of Opportunity

Activities are timetabled Monday-Friday, 4.10-5pm. For Lower School pupils, this is split between ‘activities’ (which the pupils choose freely) and ‘carousel’ (activities selected by the College, that pupils engage with on rotation). Year 7 pupils are all involved in a Performing Arts Showcase, as well as experiencing a taste of different outdoor adventure activities. The aim is to encourage pupils to be more open-minded in their approach to new experiences.

Your child will be given a range of options to choose from at the start of each term. The choice is huge, with over 150 clubs, activities and societies to pick from.
