Due to the involvement of specialist PE staff,
the children havewide-ranging opportunities to develop their sporting
skills and interests. Within the school fiercely competitive inter-house
fixtures are played in soccer, netball, hockey, basketball and rugby
in the Autumn term.
Spring term sees the ever-popular cross-country run and Swimming
Gala at the Stadium Pool. The hot, sunny days of summer bring cricket,
rounders, the distance swim and Sports Day. The idea of ‘Sport
For All’ is a fundamental part of our philosophy and this
means the involvement of all the children in most of these events.
In the Spring Term the school involves itself in sporting events
against other preparatory schools from all over Yorkshire. We also
organise and host sports meetings involving local schools.
Should any pupil
show a particular interest or talent in the sporting field,
then there is every opportunity to represent the school in fixtures
in most sports.
