Provision: The standard of school sport is very high, and the school has been represented at national level in a variety of activities. Many pupils have also gained County or District honours. However, not every boy can be a proficient sportsman, but all are encouraged to make a genuine effort to achieve their individual potential.
The School is currently the District Athletics Champions and has provided a number
of athletes for the District and County teams. These athletes then produced some
good sports performances at the County Championships with no less than 7 top three
placements. Some of these athletes were then selected for the South West Championships.
We have also had success in a variety of other sports such as Football -

From years 7 to 11 all boys will have a one hour PE lesson and a one hour games lesson each week. All boys in Year 7 play Rugby, Cricket, Athletics, Basketball and Gymnastics. In years 8 and 9 boys will have the opportunity to participate in Rugby, Football, Hockey, Cricket,
