All annual opportunities are provided through consultation with primary PE leads across the borough, meaning that your GSSP membership is bespoke to our local community of schools.

The Shooters Hill Board of Trustee’s is totally committed to the concept of bringing the benefit of Shooters Hill's facilities to the wider community. committed to the concept of bringing the benefit of Shooters Hill's facilities to the wider community. Our students are able to enjoy these excellent sports facilities and so should the wider community.

One of our objectives is to be an inclusive Academy - thus we wish to extend our facilities to local residents, local schools and also to include those disadvantaged members of society who are often overlooked.

We wish to engage local communities, relevant associations and charities to ensure that people have the opportunity to take part in our sports, and benefit from our facilities.

Whatever sport you are coming to participate in, we look forward to welcoming you all.
