Sport

We see involvement in sports, at whatever standard, as an important part of pupils’ educational experiences. Pupils can learn a great deal about leadership, team work, team building, personal fitness and health through their involvement in the College’s games programme. It can also develop within them the ability to cope with success and failure in a competitive environment and a sense of fair play.

Game of the Term for Boys
Rugby, Hockey, Cricket

Game of the Term for Girls 
Hockey, Lacrosse, Tennis or Rounders

Pupils in the 1st to 5th Form play the Game of the Term on one afternoon of the week and on a Saturday regardless if they are in the team or not. Team players will also have another practice session during the activity slot.

However, for 6th form pupils there is a much wider choice of options: Game of the Term continues but for both girls and boys there are other options available, these include Fitness, Badminton, Basketball, Volleyball and Squash. Although there is this choice a 6th former who has represented the College in a particular sport on a regular basis in earlier years will be expected to continue to play and represent the College in that Sport. If a 6th former is not in a team they do not normally have games on a Saturday.

College Matches are primarily on Saturday afternoons. Any pupils selected to represent the College are expected to make themselves available and do so. Other matches may occur on Games afternoons in the week and occasionally there are tournaments in some sports on a Sunday.
