Sports

Life on the sports field and in the swimming pool is busy at The Banda! Fostering a love of being physically active is central to our teaching of sport and this is intertwined with the development of excellence in the various sporting disciplines. Encouragement is given to all pupils to develop their skills at every level, to promote the values of good sportsmanship and to make the team sports experience a rewarding and enjoyable one for all.

Every pupil from Year 3 upwards has the opportunity to play in school fixtures across all three terms in our major sports and we are proud of our strong record of success at all levels, whether inter-school or in the IAPS festivals and tournaments.

The Sports Department includes internationally qualified and experienced PE teachers and sports coaches who are dedicated to the progression of all our pupils across a range of different sports. A number of Games and PE lessons are provided for each year group during the course of a week and are supplemented with further optional training sessions before or after school. Opportunities to represent the school in golf and horse-riding are also available throughout the year.
