Our approach to sports is inclusive; we want pupils to enjoy sports, and we work with them to find a sport or sports that they will really enjoy.

Sport offers more than just physical movement; it offers the opportunity to lead, to be part of a team, and to enjoy the camaraderie that comes with working towards a collective goal. Sport teaches us to win but also to lose well. Our pupils learn to be resilient, to have a growth mindset and to be reflective, focusing on what they have learned and what they need to take into account next time.
