sports

Our excellent facilities and the diverse skills of our staff enable the school to offer a rich choice of sporting pursuits.  The Banda aims to help every pupil find at least one absorbing interest from which he or she can derive a sense of achievement, which is so vital to developing a positive attitude towards school.

The daily games programme is designed to encourage all children, from the keenest to the least able, to enjoy games and physical exercise.

For the boys the seasonal games are cricket, hockey, and rugby.  The girls’ games are rounders, hockey and netball respectively. An extensive fixtures list ensures that many matches are played and tournaments entered, so there is ample opportunity for the children to represent the school.

The Banda has internal tournaments each term that ensure that every child has the experience of participating in a competition or match situation.  Throughout the year children participate enthusiastically in a wide selection of other sports.  These include cross-country running, football, swimming, tennis, athletics, sailing and squash.
