Sports

Back

We have outstanding sports facilities that include astroturf pitches, tennis courts and netball courts, a multi-disciplinary sports hall, a gymnasium, a fitness suite and a dance studio. Refurbishment of the sports facilities began in Summer 2020.

Students will study a range of activities including netball, football, hockey, rugby, basketball, badminton, tennis, cricket, table tennis, health and fitness, dance, gymnastics, trampolining, rounders and athletics.

In addition to curriculum PE, students are also offered a wide range of extra curricular sports activities and competition, for which we have been awarded the Gold Sports Mark for our provision. We enter both North Suffolk School Games area competitions and county leagues and tournaments in a range of activities as well as intra-school competitions including House tournaments and charity events.
