PE

Our aim is to provide a wide variety of sports to broaden the children's experience.

PE is part of the timetable. Fully trained and experienced staff introduce children to swimming, gymnastics, basketball, badminton, short tennis, tennis and athletics.

Athletics, Golf, Tennis, X-Country

This allows the most talented in these areas to add this to their programme rather than have to choose which they will do. As a consequence we compete at a very high level in all of these.

FACILITIES


Our full-size Astroturf, completed in October 2007, enables us to play hockey, netball and tennis all year round and even into the shorter evenings thanks to the floodlighting.

During the recent ISI inspection 'magnificent grounds' was the comment passed. We have an outstanding, well-equipped Sports Hall with a climbing wall, our own 9 hole golf course and extensive attractive playing fields.
