Games

During Games lessons, students learn about goal-setting and the importance of tactics and strategies to help them in the pursuit of excellence. These skills are essential and critical skills in the workplace, along with sportsmanship and team work. To help develop these skills we encourage all our students to participate in team practices. Here they learn to be assertive, take risks and to have fun with their peers. We are proud of the successes of our different sports teams at local, county and national level and we celebrate numerous team and individual successes each year with students representing the county in athletics, cricket, cross-country, golf, gymnastics, hockey, ice – skating, netball, swimming and tennis.

To support these performances we offer sports scholarships for the more talented performers and we arrange annual sports tours to help raise the standard of the teams through the experience of new and competitive opposition and more specialist coaching. In 2009, we are offering a Tennis Tour to the Juan Carlos Ferrero Tennis Centre in Spain and a Ski Trip, open to all, to the French Alps. In October 2010, we are hoping to enter our teams in the Malta Rally where a large number of British and Maltese Schools compete in numerous sports and receive specialist coaching sessions over the 5 day tournament.
