FOOTBALL
A football programme is available for senior pupils in their games lessons, with the opportunity to compete regularly in fixtures against schools in the area. As part of our Saturday sport activities, younger pupils also have the option to play football. Activities such as skills and game play, teach pupils about proper technique, injury prevention, and strategies.
The main goal of our football programme is to give pupils the chance to take part in a variety of different sporting activities so that they continue to enjoy themselves while doing physical activity.
Recreational games can be played on house greens at break times, with a number of full pitches also available all year round.
