Sport for all
Sport plays an important role in developing healthy, confident and engaged young people, building resilience, teamwork and a strong sense of wellbeing that extends into the classroom. That’s why we offer a diverse range of sports alongside a strong foundation in physiology, empowering students to take ownership of their wellbeing beyond the classroom. Our highly sought-after GCSE PE programme reflects this commitment.
The Spencer Club, one of London’s leading sporting facilities, provides the setting for most of our lessons and fixtures, with excellent playing fields and courts. Throughout the year, students can also broaden their sporting experience through extracurricular clubs, competitive fixtures, residentials and day trips.
Our partnership with LPS Mayfair expands these opportunities even further, giving students access to a sporting programme that goes far beyond the traditional. Alongside games afternoons with greater resources, stronger teams and more fixtures, partnerships with specialist facilities across London allow students to experience sports including padel, boxing, Muay Thai, gymnastics, velodrome cycling, bouldering and CrossFit, supported by expert coaching. Opportunities extend beyond London too, with specialist experiences such as our football tours, where students play local schools, train at professional facilities and experience games at famous stadiums. It is another way we combine the benefits of a smaller school with the breadth of opportunity available to a much larger one.
Importantly, we appreciate that competitive sport isn’t for everyone. Our PE and sport curriculum is designed to expose students to a wide range of team and individual activities, with varying skill and fitness requirements, so that everyone has the opportunity to discover something they genuinely enjoy and might continue into adult life. During our LPS Games Afternoons, students can choose an option that best suits their interests, whether that’s competitive sport for those who want to challenge themselves and compete at a high level, or recreational sport, where the emphasis is on participation, enjoyment and teamwork without the pressure of formal competition.
The result is a diverse and ambitious sporting programme that encourages every student to get involved, try something new and discover where their sporting interests lie.
