sport

Our aim is for each pupil to have the opportunity to represent form or house or school in competitive sports. We recognise that not all our children will be “first team” players. Rather our objective is to offer a variety of sports at all levels of competence so that each child may enjoy the camaraderie and challenge of team activities. As a small school we may not always be able to beat teams from larger schools. But we’ll try!

The major sports of football, hockey, rugby, cricket, netball and athletics feature in the curriculum for both boys and girls. Time in lessons and after school is also devoted to judo, basketball, swimming, table tennis, short tennis, gymnastics and rounders.

An annual activity holiday to a PGL centre in Britain allows children to experience activities such as abseiling, climbing and rafting. An annual ski trip is organised by the Friends of St Mary's Organisation (FOSMA) and is extremely popular.

Parental involvement in sport is encouraged, and staff versus parents matches in several sports add to the camaraderie of the school.
