Sports

We offer pupils lots of opportunities to play a range of sports where we focus on their performance, styles of play and teamwork.

In Reception and Year 1, children have a weekly PE lesson with a specialist sports teacher where they begin to develop the basic skills they need to play team games when they move into Year 2.

In Year 2 pupils have a weekly games afternoon in addition to their swimming and PE lessons.

In Years 3 and above pupils spend two afternoons at the Sunbury Cricket Club sports facilities. Our main sports are football, rugby and cricket, and all pupils represent the school in competitive fixtures against other schools. In each match one player is recognised as Player of the Match and receives a Headmaster’s Commendation in recognition of this achievement.

Pupils in Year 3 and above also have one PE lesson each week in our purpose built sports hall. During these lessons children will cover a variety of sports including basketball, gymnastics, table-tennis and general health and fitness.

All children from Reception upwards have a weekly swimming lesson throughout the year in our heated, indoor swimming pool. There is a development swimming squads for pupils in Year 4 and above who have additional training sessions and take part in a number of local and national competitions with some notable successes in recent years.

We also run cross-country squads for older pupils and take part in local and regional events.
