Supporting a Healthy and Active Lifestyle
We believe that participation in sports is essential for the health and well-being of our pupils, fostering lifelong habits that promote an active and healthy lifestyle. Pupils take part in 4 hours of Games and PE lessons each week, significantly exceeding the time allocated in state schools.
Pupils benefit from the use of the wider School’s Sports facilities during games and PE lessons including astro-turf facilities at McAllester Field. As pupils progress they benefit from coaching from specialist sport staff in Seniors and external coaches to develop their skills further.
