Sport

Our goal is to ensure that every pupil leaves the school believing that sport and exercise is a vital part of their life and has the desire, competence and confidence to continue their journey in sport and exercise once they leave the school. We hope to achieve this by providing all pupils with a positive and purposeful journey through sport and exercise.

Our specialist sports teachers understand that every pupil comes to us with different perceptions of sport and ambitions in sport. We aim to provide a tailored programme that allows each pupil to fulfil their potential. From year 7 to 9 we offer a diverse curriculum allowing the girls to experience a variety of activities.

As pupils move through the school they will have the option to choose from a greater range of activities. This ensures they are taking part in activities they are more passionate about and want to develop within.

Outside of the curriculum we offer a broad range of sport and exercise classes before school, during lunch times and after school. The sports clubs available provide pupils with an additional development opportunity and our modern exercise classes aim to provide students with a love of movement that will serve them well beyond school.

There is every opportunity to develop a passion for sport and exercise at St Swithun’s. Over the course of the week each and every pupil has the opportunity to, should they wish, take part in 10 hours of organised sport and exercise.
