Seaford College SPORT
Wednesday, 8th October, 2025
Welcome from the Director of Sport
Another exciting week of Prep Sport lies ahead, and this time we are keeping things close to home. We have a super block of fixtures against Hurstpierpoint College, with both hockey and rugby teams in action. These local fixtures are always a highlight, offering our pupils the chance to compete against schools they will likely play year after year throughout their school sporting journeys. Many of the children may already share mutual friends with their opponents, making these occasions even more enjoyable and meaningful. Playing in front of a larger local crowd also adds an extra layer of excitement and pride to the experience.
Our netball squads will be representing Seaford at the Westbourne House School 5-a-side tournament – an excellent opportunity to showcase teamwork, skill and creativity in a fastpaced format.
On Friday, our pupils will take part in the much-anticipated House Cross Country during their games sessions, a brilliant celebration of participation, effort and house spirit. Then, on Sunday, several of our Seaford runners (and parents) will be competing in the Blackdown Trail Run, details of which have been communicated by Mr Disley-May. Please refer to his message for full information.
The theme this week centres on the value of local sporting opposition. Competing nearby not only strengthens school partnerships and enables increased participation but also helps pupils appreciate the sense of their wider community and shared respect that underpin sport. These fixtures remind us that competition is as much about connection and character as it is about performance, especially in these formative years.
As with all local fixtures, we are anticipating many spectators, and your support, encouragement and positivity are greatly appreciated. Please continue to refer to SOCS for live updates and fixture information.
Best of luck to all our pupils representing Seaford Sport this week.
Ad Alta!
Mr Christian Head Director of Sport

Additional Medical Support
To continue to ensure that we are providing proactive, gold-standard care to our students, the school is in partnership with Return2Play, the UK’s leading sports medicine partners for schools. Feedback from other schools and parents utilising their expertise is strong, while our own experience has been overwhelmingly positive thus far.
If you have any queries regarding your account, then please get in touch with Return2Play directly via hello@return2play.org.uk and they will be happy to help. The helpdesk runs 7 days a week.
Wet Weather and Cancellations
As a team, we will always do everything within our control to ensure fixtures and recreational activities go ahead as scheduled. Any changes to the schedule will be communicated via the respective sports coaches and clarion call.
Dogs on the School Site
We are a dog-friendly site; however, can I remind all parents that dogs should always be on a lead while onsite, and should not be on the field of play. If challenged by a member of staff, please be polite, respect the campus rules and remember that the safety of our students is paramount.
Parents and Supporters – Code of Conduct
For our core values (RESPECT, TEAMWORK, COURAGE, TRUST) to be upheld and our sports programme to be truly successful, it takes the cooperation of all involved – players, coaches, officials, staff, spectators and parents. The College and the staff have spent some time and effort reinforcing these sporting values within Seaford, and we believe it is essential that we include parents and friends of the College in this process.
One of the key questions we ask all supporters to consider is:
‘How does our touchline behaviour shape character and enhance the enjoyment for all the players during the game?’
Please let the coaches coach so that you can enjoy the parental match day experience. As a team and a college, we value performance and desired learning behaviours over the scoreboard – win, lose or draw, it is about the experience and the students making memories with their friends. Thank you for your support with this! Successful College sport is built upon strong partnerships between the students, parents and the College.
We look forward to seeing you all on the sidelines, both home and away, and thank you for your continued support of the Seaford Sport programme.
