The school is nationally renowned for its sporting achievement, with national and county representatives in several sports across the school age range.

For all boys and girls within the school there is a wealth of sporting activities, including rugby, hockey, cricket and netball. By offering such choices as volleyball, athletics, gymnastics, tennis, squash, badminton, orienteering, health-related fitness, step-aerobics and rounders, the school is able to provide something to suit all aptitudes and preferences.

The school’s facilities include rugby and hockey pitches, tennis and netball courts, excellent cricket squares and provision for athletics.  The sports hall, built at a cost of £1.4 million includes a sprung floor for dance and gymnastics, also a climbing wall.  The swimming pool is due for completion in December 2008.


Enthusiasts in several sports have enjoyed the experience of taking part in team tours to France, Canada, Australia and South Africa and there are regular water sports and skiing trips abroad.

In 2008 there were Sports tours to Canada (Senior Rugby) and Gibralta (Netball).
