Each year the school organises a Cross Country Competition, a Swimming Gala, Sports Day and various inter-house matches in football, basketball, touch rugby, netball, hockey and tennis. We play competitive matches against other schools and take part in tournaments organized by the Independent Schools Association (I.S.A.) on a local and national basis.
Extra Curricular Options
We provide various sports clubs after school and lunch time practices such as netball, football, rugby, cricket and tennis.
Facilities
At school we have a small Hall and two hard-surfaced areas, including a Netball Court. Within 300m of the school, we have playing fields which are used for most of the games activities. We use Harold Hill Swimming Baths weekly. We use the Romford YMCA for a multi-sports programme. We hire tennis courts from Hylands Tennis Club.
