Sports

Sport plays a significant role in the life of the school and we operate a full fixture list in soccer, hockey and cricket. All boys are encouraged to participate from an early age and, with eight teams to choose from, it is almost unheard of for a boy not to represent the school at one level or another. Other popular options include athletics, badminton, basketball, golf, judo, kayaking, rugby, swimming and tennis. Our full time director of sport is supported by other staff who hold appropriate coaching and officiating qualifications.

Our sporting facilities are always being improved, with the refurbishment of the indoor pool and the addition of three tennis courts and four cricket nets showing our commitment to sports in the future.

Congratulations!
