Our Physical Education and Games curriculum develops not only sporting skills, but also the qualities that help boys thrive both on and off the field. Through sport, boys learn teamwork, resilience, determination, leadership, respect and sportsmanship. We encourage boys to be curious, make decisions independently, embrace challenges and take pride in always doing their best.
Throughout the year, boys enjoy a wide range of sports. In the autumn term, this includes football, rugby, hockey, cross-country and gymnastics, while the summer term brings cricket, tennis and athletics. Alongside lessons, boys can take part in a wide variety of clubs, fixtures and competitions, ensuring opportunities for all abilities and interests.
Sport is also a highlight of the school calendar. We host our own Football Festival, inviting teams from other schools, run an annual Football World Cup competition, organise inclusive House football matches for Years 4–8, host cross-country events on Hampstead Heath, and celebrate dedicated Sports Days for Junior, Middle and Senior School boys. House rounders is another popular summer event.
Junior School boys benefit from our dedicated off-site sports facilities at the Wilf Slack Playing Fields, which provide excellent space for training, fixtures and outdoor activities.
Beyond the curriculum, boys can enjoy a range of exciting sporting experiences, including residential trips, visits to elite sporting venues such as St George’s Park, ski trips for all abilities, opportunities to compete as part of our school ski team, and overseas tours, including cricket tours to Sri Lanka.
Whether a boy is representing the school competitively or simply enjoying being active with friends, our aim is for every pupil to develop confidence, character and a lifelong enthusiasm for sport.
