Sports Options Available In Middle School

For those who are not interested in the main stream sports and who do not play for a school team, there are a number of alternative options for them to choose from, either in the form of sports clubs or options within their timetabled session - these include swimming, squash, fencing, equestrian, rifle shooting, gym sessions and aerobics. This broad offering ensures that all pupils are able and encouraged to include an element of sport into their daily lives.

Sports tours are also very popular, with tours to Spain, Holland and Malaysia having taken place in recent years. Whilst these tours undoubtedly help from a sporting and team building perspective, they also build self-confidence, independence and create memories that stay with pupils for life.

“The big difference for me when I moved up to Middle School was the number of different sport options available. I am not particularly sporty, so suddenly being able to do aerobics, yoga and have access to the gym has been great. There is a nice group of us who join in with similar activities, so it is often one of the highlights of my day.”
