Sports Information

In terms of allocation of time, Physical Education and Games have always enjoyed a high priority within the School. In most years, pupils are able to easily exceed the minimal guidelines stated by the Government in terms of time allocated to P.E. / games lessons. This is especially true for our pupils in year 8 and below.

The School generally follows a traditional games programme. By this, we mean that boys are mainly involved in rugby, football and hockey, and girls are mainly involved in netball, hockey and (to a lesser extent) football. 

Within the PE programme, pupils are involved in activities such as gymnastics and swimming.

In Year 4, pupils participate in the following programme (per week):

• 1 x swimming lesson (off-site)
• 1 x period of P.E.
•  2 x double periods of Games
