Athletics

Pupil participation levels in Track & Field athletics is high. We are fortunate to have a 400m (grass) track and throwing/jumping areas which host the passionately contested annual Inter-House Athletics ‘Sports Day’.

As an extra-curricular activity, athletics is available to all pupils throughout the Summer Term, and pupils in First, Second and Third Form will all participate in Track & Field events during their Physical Education programme. Boys and girls in the Fifth Form and Sixth Form can also choose the sport as a Games option in the Summer. Recognising the value to all sports of physical training which enables pupils to go faster, higher, stronger, our talented athletes receive high quality weekly training throughout the academic year from qualified specialists and regularly compete with distinction in Inter-School, District, County, Regional and National competitions.
