Sport is an integral part of our curriculum. We place strong emphasis on the importance of fitness, team sports, individual achievement and we encourage all pupils to participate.We have five games sessions during the week in which pupils participate in rugby, football, hockey, cricket, netball, rounders, cross country, athletics and tennis.
In addition, all pupils have timetabled PE lessons which cover swimming, gymnastics, ball skills, basketball, volleyball and orienteering.
Fixtures against other schools are an important part of our Sports programme, and there are regular matches for U11 and U9 teams. Pupils also have the opportunity to compete in local Primary School and IAPS events.Our specialist coaches provide top quality age-appropriate coaching and we offer extra sessions, where necessary, to further enhance pupils’ skills.
In addition extra clubs provide the opportunity to use the school’s wider facilities and the beautiful surrounding of the Yorkshire Dales to take part in Fell Running, Judo, Mountain Biking, Street Dance, Squash, Tennis, Walking, and we also run an annual ski trip.
